Black Bean Chili with Oranges

Directions

Combine in onions, garlic, and oil in a lidded 6 quart sauce pan, over high heat.

Stir often until onions are tinged with brown, about 8 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients, but not zest, juice, or slices, to onions, etc., and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to simmer. Cover and simmer until beans are tender to bite, about 1½ to 2 hours.

While beans simmer, remove 2 teaspoons zest, squeeze ½ cup juice, remove peel and white membrane from rest of fruit and slice thinly crosswise, removing seeds.

After the beans become tender, raise heat to high, uncover, and boil until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10 to 15 minutes.

(Reduce the heat and stir occasionally as mixture thickens.) Remove beans from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon zest and the ½ cup juice.

Ladle beans into serving bowls.

Place the sliced fruit equally on top of the beans in each bowl.

Add to taste: sour cream, fresh cilantro sprigs, salt.

Garnish with the remaining 1 teaspoon zest.
