Today’s Culinary Adventure: Double Chocolate Chipotle Chili

As the weather begins to cool and the leaves start to change color, my mind turns to warm, comforting dishes that pack a punch of flavor. Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest creation: Double Chocolate Chipotle Chili. This unique twist on a classic chili recipe combines rich dark chocolate with smoky chipotle peppers for a spicy and indulgent dish that is sure to warm you up from the inside out.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 500g ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (400g) black beans, drained
  • 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes
  • 500ml beef broth
  • 50g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To bring this Double Chocolate Chipotle Chili to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

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

Start by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the chopped onion and bell pepper, and cook until the vegetables are softened and the beef is fully cooked. Next, stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes, beef broth, dark chocolate, chipotle peppers, and cocoa powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer the chili over low heat for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. The dark chocolate will melt into the chili, adding a rich depth of flavor, while the chipotle peppers will infuse it with a smoky heat. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Once the chili is ready, serve it hot with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, or fresh cilantro. The combination of spicy chipotle peppers, rich dark chocolate, and hearty beef and beans creates a truly unique and delicious dish that is perfect for a cozy night in.

The approximate total weight of the cooked Double Chocolate Chipotle Chili is 1500g, and it serves 6 people. Each serving is approximately 250g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

Tip: For an extra kick of heat, try adding a splash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the chili before serving. This will elevate the spice level and give it an extra punch of flavor.

I hope you give this Double Chocolate Chipotle Chili recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to experiment with different toppings or adjust the spice level to suit your taste. Happy cooking!
