"During the winter months, I prefer to cook hearty, filling dishes. This chili is a great example of a delicious, comforting dish packed with nutrients," shares Melissa d'Arabian. The chili is made with pumpkin, beans, and a whole host of aromatic spices, giving it a delicious, warming flavor.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.

1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped or pressed through a garlic press

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Pour in the wine and let it simmer for 1 minute, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  3. Add pumpkin, beans, tomatoes with juice, salsa, 1 cup water, chili powder, cumin, cocoa, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper, if using.
  4. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and the chili begins to thicken, about 1 hour. If the chili seems too thick during cooking, add up to 1 cup more water. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a few cubes of avocado.

    Boiled beans:
    Soak dry beans in water overnight, then cook until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours (or cook in a slow cooker on high for 4 to 5 hours).
