Kunde Black Bean Chili

Served at Kunde Estate Winery this weekend for their holiday open house.  This is a special variation on our Petaluma People's Choice Award winning vegetarian chili; flavorful green chili with a unique spiciness that feels like it is going to burn, but doesn’t.   This recipe yields 4 gallons.

EDIT: Okay 4 gallons might no be useful in the home!  I've amended the recipe to 1 gallon. Enjoy.

8 oz Anaheim Chiles
