Chocolate Chili

Description
I’ve been a huge fan of chocolate-infused chili for several years now, even perfecting a vegetarian version. The hybrid of Cincinnati chili and mole flavors is just so warm and satisfying, not hot at all. This recipe is loosely inspired by Michael Chiarello’s Chocolate Chili Con Carne.
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons Peanut Oil
- ½ whole Yellow Onion, Finely Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Garlic, Minced
- 2-½ pounds Lean Ground Beef
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 4 Tablespoons Chili Powder
- 1 can (6 Oz. Can) Tomato Paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Chicken Stock
- 1 bottle (12 Oz. Bottle) Beer
- 4 Tablespoons Cornmeal
- 1 can (10-14 Oz. Can) Diced Tomatoes With Green Chiles
- 1 can (15 Oz. Can) Black Beans, Drained
- 2 ounces, weight Semi-sweet Chocolate Morsels
Preparation
Saute onions in 3-4 tablespoons peanut oil over low heat until the onions are very soft. Add garlic and saute for 1-2 more minutes. Increase heat to medium. Add ground beef, cooking until brown. Add in cinnamon, chili powder, and tomato paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in oregano through diced tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes. Add in black beans, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Add in chocolate during last 10-20 minutes of cooking time.

Amyliz try “Quorn”. It’s a meat substitute that is soy-free. It’s made from mushrooms and truly wonderful. My sweet husband can’t tell the difference.

This sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try it for my family. Is there any specific type of beer to use…lager or ale or does it matter?

A vegetarian version? Just leave out the beef? Do you replace it with anything? Thanks!
