Peanut Butter Chili

This was surprisingly good! Everything in this recipe is heart healthy and we are adding more of these meals to our daily diet. Tomatoes, beans, garlic are all recommended to lower cholesterol. This sounded like a great way to get all these foods in one dish. I made this almost exactly to the recipe. The only change was I used a natural almond butter with no palm oil, sugar or salt added. Almonds also good on lowering cholesterol. So...I tasted this before adding the the almond butter and I was not loving it. I added the almond butter and it transformed into a much different taste and consistency. If you are thinking chili, you could be disappointed; think of this as a spicy bean stew. It has an almost addictive taste. I went back for a big second dish. The almonds butter worked great for us and will make this again the same way. I think almond butter have a milder flavor than peanut butter plus has more heart benefits. This is a win-win -win for taste , healthiness and ease of preparation! Thank you for sharing this!

My first time making chili... used Smuckers all natural peanut butter (the type you need to stir due to oil seperation), and didn't add any salt or black pepper (definitely didn't need it). It had a unique flavor; you could taste the peanut butter but it combined well, both flavor and texture, with the beans and tomatoes. As easy as this was to make, I think I'll put it in my list of go to recipes.

It turned out good, my wife who is vegan loved it.
