What you’ll need:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil

- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 Tbsp chilli powder
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried marjoram
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- 6 cups low-sodium veg broth

Garnish

Directions:

- Add chilli powder, cumin, basil, marjoram, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, salt & pepper and cook, stirring, ~2 mins. Add broth, tomatoes, beer and bulgur (I used farro!) and stir to combine, bringing to a low boil. Reduce to simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, ~40 mins.
- Remove bay leaves from chilli and discard. Add beans, stir to mix and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are heated through, ~15 mins. Garnish with cilantro [coriander] and scallions [spring onions] (avocado, sour cream, and cheese, if you have them! Maybe blue corn chips, yum) and serve warm with wedges of lime to squeeze into chilli.
