I’m not usually a “chili” eater. Before I even continues, let me clarify that the chili I refer to over here is the American-style chili usually made of bean and some ground meat and some peppers like jalapeno. Not “hot” spicy, but usually spices like cumin, oregano, coriander seeds, etc are used. Okay, so, after I made this pork cheek chili, I’ve told myself that that was the best chili I’ve ever made and it is, try it and you’ll know what I mean. I saw the white bean chili recipe on the health magazine and decided to give it a try. It’s a “healthier” version, but it’s still flavorful and doesn’t taste “skinny” 🙂 The idea of one-pot meal and a bowl of warm white bean chili in a cold winter just really convenient and comforting.
