  • 1 cup frozen corn (or canned corn, drained and rinsed)

  • Cashew Milk: Add water and cashews to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy (~1-2 minutes). Set aside.
  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil, onion and garlic. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  • Add cumin, sea salt (starting small), pepper, and cayenne. Cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

  • Add the green peppers, drained and rinsed beans, and corn. Stir to combine.

  • Stir in the cashew milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10 minutes. If the chili gets too thick, you can add water or dairy-free milk as needed.

*Cashew-free option (not tested, but I think it would work well!): Substitute 2/3 cup (92 g) cashews + 2 cups (480 ml) water with 1 cup (240 ml) canned cashews. -Full-fat coconut milk + 1 ½ cups (360 ml) water ~or~ 1 cup (14 oz./400 ml) light coconut milk + 1 cup (240 ml) water.
*If the blender’s performance is weak, soak the cashews in hot water for 20 minutes and then grind them.
