Today’s Unique Creation: Double Chocolate Chipotle Chili

As the weather starts to cool down, I find myself craving warm, comforting dishes that pack a punch of flavor. Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that combines the richness of chocolate with the smoky heat of chipotle peppers — my Double Chocolate Chipotle Chili. This dish is a true fusion of sweet and spicy that will tantalize your taste buds and warm you up from the inside out.

For this unique recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 400g ground beef
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 50g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 400g canned diced tomatoes
  • 400g canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 500ml beef broth
  • 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

To bring this recipe to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

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

Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened. Next, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with your wooden spoon.

Once the beef is cooked, add the minced chipotle peppers, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped dark chocolate and cocoa powder until everything is well combined and fragrant. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, black beans, and beef broth, stirring to combine all the flavors.

Cover the pot and let the chili simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

With a total weight of approximately 1600g, this Double Chocolate Chipotle Chili recipe makes 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 400g and packs a flavorful punch of approximately 400 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to add a touch of cinnamon for an extra layer of warmth and complexity to the dish. It may sound unusual, but trust me, it takes this chili to a whole new level of deliciousness.

I hope you give this Double Chocolate Chipotle Chili a try and enjoy the fusion of flavors in every comforting bite. Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings or additional spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
