4. Canadian Pear, Sausage, Squash and Chickpea Chili

Try this all-Canadian spin on Olla Gitana, a Spanish Gypsy Chili from the region of Murcia, traditionally served in terracotta pots. It features an enticing blend of affordable Canadian canned tomatoes, potatoes, green beans and mint. We have added some substitution ideas at the end. Either way, it is an inspiring and flavourful dish that makes for great, hearty leftovers.
