Chili-Loaded Baked Potatoes with Cashew “Sour Cream”
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes
- 1 pound black beans or kidney beans, soaked overnight*
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 cups diced onion
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups diced carrots
- 2 cups diced celery
- 2 cups diced mushrooms
- 2 cups diced red bell pepper
- 2 teaspoons each cumin, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups diced tomatoes
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 1/4 cup minced cilantro
FOR CASHEW “SOUR CREAM”:
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 date, peeled, pitted
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pierce the potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until tender. Drain the beans, place in a 4-quart pot, and cover with an inch of water. Bring to a full boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook the beans for 1 hour, or until tender, adding more water as needed to keep the beans covered with liquid. Drain and set aside.
For the chili, heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large pot; add the onions and garlic. SauteÅL over high heat until the onions are translucent and fragrant, adding water as needed to prevent sticking. Add the carrots, celery, mushrooms, bell pepper, spices, sea salt, and red pepper flakes, if using. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 15 minutes. Add beans, tomato paste, and tomatoes, stirring until well combined. Cover and continue to simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
For the “sour cream,” blend all the ingredients until smooth, adding 1/2 cup water slowly (just enough to keep things moving). Halve the baked potatoes. Serve topped with chili, cashew “sour cream,” avocado, jalapeno, and cilantro.
* You may use 6 cups of salt-free canned beans, if desired.
