That’s why today, I’m excited to share with you my latest culinary experiment: Spicy Chocolate Chili. This unique recipe combines the rich flavors of dark chocolate with a kick of heat from spicy chili peppers, creating a truly unforgettable dish.

For this Spicy Chocolate Chili, you will need the following ingredients (approximate weights):

• 400g beef chuck, cubed
• 300g canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 400g canned diced tomatoes
• 50g dark chocolate, chopped
• 500ml beef broth

• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• to taste

To bring this delicious dish to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board

Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add the cubed beef chuck and brown it on all sides. Once the beef is browned, add the diced onion and chopped bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened.

Next, stir in the canned black beans, diced tomatoes, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

After simmering, add the chopped dark chocolate to the pot and stir until it’s fully melted and incorporated into the chili. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve the Spicy Chocolate Chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped fresh cilantro.

As a unique tip for this recipe, try stirring in a spoonful of creamy peanut butter right before serving. The peanut butter adds a subtle nuttiness that complements the richness of the dark chocolate beautifully.
