Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon Chili  

Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon Chili

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb dry white beans
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 1 cup diced onions
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1/4 cup each red, yellow, orange bell peppers
• 3 tbsp chopped garlic
• 1 cup white wine
• 28-oz can diced tomatoes
• 1 tbsp Tabasco sauce
• 4 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 2 tbsp freshly chopped basil
• 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
• 2 tsp dried thyme
• 16 oz. Alaska Smokehouse Smoked Salmon, diced into 1-inch pieces

Procedure:

1. Soak the white beans in water overnight. Drain, then cook the beans in 2 cups of the vegetable broth (enough to cover) until tender, about 25 minutes. If you start running out of liquid, add water.
2. Saute the onions, celery, and peppers in the olive oil to soften. Add the garlic and cool for 1 minute. Add the wine and reduce for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
3. Drain the cooked beans and add to the pot along with the Tabasco, tomato paste, the remaining 2 cups vegetable broth, and herbs and spices. Simmer for 10-12 minutes.
4. Add the salmon and simmer for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through. Stir carefully to incorporate the seafood without breaking it up too much. Serves 6.
