  1. Chop the onion

    Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. Set aside in a bowl.

  2. Crush the garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and crush them with the flat side of your knife or a garlic press.

  3. Cook the onions

    In the skillet over medium heat, warm up the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook it for 5 min until it turns translucent.

  4. Add the garlic

    Add the crushed garlic to the skillet and stir well. Let it cook for 1 min, stirring.

  5. Stir in the tomatoes

  6. Add the beans

    Drain and rinse the kidney beans under cold water. Add them to the skillet along with their canning liquid. Stir and let it simmer over low heat for 10 min.

    Tip · For a thicker chili, lightly mash a few beans with a fork before adding them.

  7. Stir in the corn

    Drain the corn and add it to the skillet. Stir and let it cook for another 5 min over low heat to warm everything through.

  8. Taste and adjust

    Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot.
