It’s Tasteful Tuesday here on the blog and I’m sharing one of my new favorite recipes. Thai Chili is a yummy recipe I discovered in my January edition of Clean Eating. It’s so good that my family was asking for it within a couple of weeks from the first time I prepared it. If you try it and like it, let me know. I’m including the recipe below the photograph.

Ingredients:

- 1 1/2 tsp red curry paste
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
- 1/2 cup uncooked bulgur
- 1/2 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed (2 cups)
- 1 large green bell pepper, chopped (2 cups)
- 3 cups cooked kidney beans, drained
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk
- 2 cups jarred or boxed tomato puree/passata
- 2 scallions, chopped
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

In a 4-qt pot, add curry paste, cumin, and a bit of broth. Mash mixture and stir until paste is no longer in lumps. Add remaining broth, bulgur, potato, and bell pepper. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Cover tightly, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 10 minutes.

Add beans, coconut milk, and tomato puree to pot and stir. Cook, uncovered, for 7 minutes, until bulgur is tender and chili is thick. Stir in scallions and black pepper and serve.
