Pineapple Chili

Ingredients:

Ground beef or turkey
Olive Oil
Garlic
Onion
Can of pineapple
Can of beans (I use black, pinto or kidney)
Cumin
Salt
Pepper
*Cilantro
*Apricots

I start by sauteing the onion and garlic in olive oil then browning the meat with some salt.  I add the pineapple, and then the beans and cumin.  If you have cilantro, I'd throw some of that in there and you may like to add some dried apricots too, I bet that would taste amazing. If there is not enough liquid I'll add up to a cup of water as well.  I bring it all to a boil then cover and simmer for about 30 min.  This is another dish that tastes better the longer it cooks.   While this is cooking, I make about 1 cup of buckwheat groats.  Serve the chili over buckwheat, or you could also make buckwheat crackers and dip them in the chili instead.  Store the left over and enjoy the next day too. It'll taste even better!
