Chili with a Choke
Don't let the name frighten you!
The “choke” in this recipe is “artichoke”
Chili with a Choke is definitely not your mama's chili - at least not yet! But we did a few things different with this delicious chili.
Yes! We added artichoke to this chili as well as something else you
typically don't find in a chili recipe - potato. The delicious artichoke
lends a slightly tart and tangy edge while the potato helps give the
dish a little more body.
In
any event, you will want to try this chili recipe because it tastes
great and it's good for you too! So grab some artichoke hearts and some potatoes and everything else you need and cook up a steaming pot of chili tonight!
The distinct flavor and sturdy body of this artichoke chili makes it one of our favorites. Not only that but you get a whopping 24 grams of protein in every serving! We hope you will like it as much as we do! Let us know what you think! We are always happy to hear from you.
