Today’s Special: Spicy Chocolate Chili

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique and flavorful recipe that’s perfect for those chilly winter nights. This Spicy Chocolate Chili is a twist on a classic comfort food, combining the rich, deep flavors of chocolate with a kick of heat from spicy peppers. It’s sure to warm you up from the inside out!

Ingredients:

  • 500g ground beef
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
  • 400g diced tomatoes
  • 500ml beef broth
  • 100g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 400g kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot
  • wooden spoon
  • measuring spoons

To start, heat a large pot over medium heat and brown the ground beef. Once the beef is cooked through, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Next, stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, dark chocolate, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Once the chili is thick and flavorful, taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, and green onions. Enjoy the unique combination of savory beef, spicy peppers, and rich chocolate in every spoonful!

This Spicy Chocolate Chili recipe yields a total weight of approximately 2000g, with 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 333g and has an estimated calorie count of 400 calories.

Tip:

For an extra depth of flavor, try adding a splash of brewed coffee to the chili for a touch of bitterness and richness that complements the chocolate perfectly.

I hope you give this Spicy Chocolate Chili a try and make it your own by adjusting the spice level to suit your taste. It’s a fun and unexpected twist on a classic dish that will surely become a new favorite in your household. Enjoy!
