Preparation:
In a 4- to 5-quart pan over high heat, combine carrots, onion, and 1/2 cup
water. Stir often until liquid evaporates and vegetables begin to brown and
stick in pan, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes (break up with a spoon) and
their liquid, beans and their liquid, and chili powder. Bring to a boil,
then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, to blend flavors, about 15 minutes.
Ladle chili into wide bowls; add sour cream and crushed chilies to taste. |
