Before You Start
Drain and rinse the beans, dice the zucchini and bell pepper, and slice the mushrooms so the pot comes together fast.
How To Make It
- Warm a splash of water in a large pot over medium, about 1 minute, until it steams.
- Add the mushrooms and zucchini and cook, stirring, 5 to 6 minutes, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the zucchini softens.
- Add the kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, bell pepper, and diced tomato and stir in the cumin so it coats everything.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring now and then, 20 to 25 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the chili has thickened.
- Taste, season with salt, and serve hot.
Fix It: If it looks too thick and starts to stick, add a splash of water and stir, because the beans keep soaking up liquid as they simmer.
Microwave
- Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
- Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
- Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
