Super Bowl Tuna And Three-Bean Chili While writing this cookbook, I often had my friends try new recipes as they were created. What better reason to have chili then the Super Bowl? My team may have lost, but my chili was the real winner that day! Even my die-hard meat-and-potato fans were completely satiated. This is best if you let it sit for one to two hours to develop the flavor, and reheat before serving. Serve with diced avocado mixed with a little bit of your favorite salsa and fresh lime juice. You can replace the ground tuna with ground turkey, chicken or beef if desired. Makes 10 servings.
	Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 cup chopped onions 1 cup beer, preferably Mexican dark 1/2 cup chopped celery One 15-ounce can cooked pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 cup chopped carrots One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes, drained One 15-ounce can cooked white beans, drained and rinsed 1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper, or jalapeño One 15-ounce can cooked black soy beans (or regular black beans), drained and rinsed 1 pound fresh yellowfin or albacore tuna, finely chopped or ground 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 cup trimmed and finely sliced scallions 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt 2 cups cooked brown rice
	Instructions: 1. In a medium heavy-duty saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes more. Crush the plum tomatoes by hand and add to the pot. Add the chipotle pepper (careful not to add too much if you're sensitive to spices) and simmer for 5 minutes. 2. In a mixing bowl, hand mix the tuna, cumin, chili, coriander, salt and black pepper. Add this mixture to the saucepan and stir. Add the beer, stir and simmer for 5 minutes more. Mix in all 3 beans and the tomato paste and continue to simmer until heated through. 3. Before serving, add the scallions, cilantro and rice.
