FOOD FOR THE BODY


Southwestern Beef Chili (from http://www.realsimple.com/)


Serves: 4
Points: 4


1 T. olive oil
2 carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 poblano or bell pepper, chopped
1/2 lb. extra lean ground beef
2 T. tomato paste
2 (15-oz.) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 T. chili powder
kosher salt and pepper
1/2 c. corn kernels (from 1 ear, or frozen and thawed)
1/2 c. grated 2% milk Cheddar (2 ounces)
2 scallions, sliced


Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion, and poblano and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it is slightly darkened, 1 minute. Add the beans, chili powder, 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the corn. Divide among bowls and top with the Cheddar and scallions.
