This simple version of a vegetarian chili can be made ahead of time\u00a0for quick clean up, and it’s got just enough heat to appeal to a wide variety of buyers stopping by. By offering chili at an open house you’re\u00a0playing off the sense of smell and taste to create an emotional connection point with home buyers, that will have them lingering in the space longer. If you live in a football community, take this one step further and have a game on as background noise, so buyers can envision themselves throwing a party for game time.

But, remember this all starts with the chili, so try this recipe created by my husband Sal Arena, whether you’re selling or not — to liven’ up your taste buds and celebrate the colder months ahead. Here’s what you’ll need:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    \n<\/span><\/li>\n

  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Step 1:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and season with bay leaves, cumin, oregano, and salt. Cook and stir until onion is tender.<\/span>

    \nStep 4: <\/strong>Then pour in the best part one beer of your choice we used Samuel Adams Octoberfest. (This is optional).Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer 5 minutes.<\/span>

    \nStep 5:\u00a0<\/strong>Once the beer has reduced add the two cans of\u00a0chopped green chile peppers and let it cook for a minute or two.<\/span>
    \n\"veggie
    \nStep 6:\u00a0<\/strong>Add your softer veggies now, we added zucchini and corn into the pot. Mix in well and let that cook together for a minute or so.<\/span>
    \n\"veggie
    \nStep 7:\u00a0<\/strong>It’s sauce time. Next, add your three cans of crushed tomatoes.\u00a0<\/span>
    \n\"veggie
    \nStep 8:\u00a0<\/strong>The tomatoes need to get spiced up.\u00a0Season chili with chili powder and pepper. (If you want it very spicy now is the time to add that!)<\/span>
    \n\"veggie
    \nStep 9:\u00a0<\/strong>Stir in the kidney beans and black beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 45 minutes.<\/span>
    \n\"veggie
    \nStep 10<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Continue to stir chili during that 45 minute cooking time.<\/span><\/span>
    \n\"veggie
    \nStep 11:\u00a0<\/strong>Dress up and enjoy! Chili is great to eat out of cup, bowl or plate. Dress it up with rice, avocado, cheddar cheese, corn chips, corn bread or even sour cream. The combinations in the dish are endless, so get creative.<\/span>
