Vegetarian Black Bean Chili with Orange and Cumin

I think I found this recipe as part of Bon Appetit's Top 10 Vegetarian Recipes of 2010. And boy, were they right! It is delicious!

Vegetarian Black Bean Chili with Orange and Cumin


INGREDIENTS:
2 oranges (juiced) (or 8 ounces orange juice)
2 T. olive oil
2 C. chopped onions
4 garlic cloves, pressed
4 t. chili powder
4 t. ground cumin
2 t. ground cinnamon
3 15.5-oz cans seasoned black beans, drained
2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes in juice
Hot pepper sauce
Sour cream or plain yogurt
Chopped fresh cilantro

PREPARATION:
Grate enough orange peel to measure 1 1/2 teaspoons. Juice oranges. Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté 5 minutes. Mix in garlic and spices. Add beans, tomatoes, and half of orange juice (1/2 cup). Simmer over medium heat until heated through and flavors blend, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Mix in orange peel and remaining orange juice (1/2 cup). Season to taste with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Ladle chili into bowls. Top with sour cream and cilantro. Pass extra hot sauce alongside.
