How to Make Ginger's 30 Minute Chili

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional). Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  3. Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained, 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained, and 2 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the flavors have melded and the chili has thickened slightly.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more chili powder for extra heat or a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  6. Top each serving with 1 ounce shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped chives, if desired. Serve with crackers.
