When we think of chili, we usually think of red. In this recipe, we’re bidding goodbye to tomatoes (which aren’t in season) and serving up a hearty, “white” chili with bursts of color from bright sweet potatoes and rainbow Swiss chard. (In the cold-weather months, these two delicious vegetables are at their best.) Spiced with warming herbs and filled out with hearty cannellini beans that hold their shape when simmered, this dish may become your new fall favorite.

- 1 Meyer Lemon
-
1 Poblano Pepper
-
1 Sweet Potato

Instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients:
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Drain and rinse the cannellini beans. Peel and mince the garlic. Pick the cilantro leaves off the stems; discard the stems. Using a peeler, remove the yellow rind of the lemon, avoiding the white pith; mince the rind to get 2 teaspoons of zest. Quarter the lemon and remove the seeds. Small dice the poblano pepper. Peel and small dice the sweet potato. Peel and small dice the onion. Separate the chard leaves from the stems. Roughly chop the stems on an angle; chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Start the chili:
In a large pot, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the garlic and onion; cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the diced sweet potato, chard stems and all but a pinch of the poblano. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
3
Add the spices & quinoa:
Add the spice blend and quinoa to the pot of vegetables; cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until toasted and fragrant.
4
Finish the chili:
Add the cannellini beans, vegetable demi-glace and 2 cups of water to the pot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened and the quinoa is tender. Stir in the chard leaves; cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the juice of 2 lemon wedges and remove from heat.
5
Make the lemon yogurt:
While the chili cooks, in a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, as much of the lemon zest as you’d like (you may have extra lemon zest), the juice of the remaining lemon wedges and 1 tablespoon of water; season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Plate your dish:
To plate your dish, divide the chili between 2 bowls. Top each with a dollop of lemon yogurt. Garnish with the cilantro and remaining poblano. Enjoy!
