The ingredients for Espresso Black Bean Chili are:

3 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
2 onions, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 cups canned tomatoes
1/2 to 1 cup freshly brewed espresso, 1 to 2 cups brewed coffee or 2 tablespoons espresso powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 cup dark brown sugar or 3 tablespoons molasses
One 3-inch cinnamon stick
1 pound dried black beans, washed, picked over and soaked for around 8 hours (soaking is optional, though--I used dried beans sans soak and it turned out just fine)
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Here is how you make Espresso Black Bean Chili:

1. Put the oil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over a medium high heat. When hot, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.2. Stir in the tomato, espresso, brown sugar, cinnamon and beans, and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat so the liquid bubbles steadily but not violently. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans begin to soften, 30 to 40 minutes. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper.3. Continue cooking until the beans are tender - anywhere from another 45 minutes to 1 hour and 30 mins. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more sugar, salt or pepper.I served it garnished with sour cream and chopped cilantro. Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DAMIENDUCKS.
