Bean Chili with Walnuts & Chocolate. Friday night.
Elsa is sleeping. Finally time to write that post we prepared earlier this week. I’ve been looking forward to share this recipe, as I am pretty certain that many of you will like it. This bean chili (or chili sin carne, as David calls it) is not only warm, comforting and spicy. It also has the most wonderful flavor from dark chocolate, coffee, red wine and crunchy walnuts. I am dedicating this recipe to my brand new bike. And while I am on that subject.

The rest of these step-by-step pictures are also by me. I decided to make Lizzie and Kyle a black bean chili from Chris Schlesinger & John Willoughby’s cookbook, “Let The Flames Begin,” which I bought at a used cookbook store in Atwater Village.
