Today’s Special: Spicy Chocolate Chili

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m super excited to share with you a unique and flavorful recipe that combines the richness of chocolate with the heat of chili. This dish is perfect for those cozy winter nights when you’re craving something comforting yet exotic. So, let’s dive into the world of Spicy Chocolate Chili!

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 300g beef chuck, diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 400g canned kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes
  • 500ml beef broth
  • 50g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

To bring this Spicy Chocolate Chili to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

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

Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced beef chuck and cook until browned. Next, toss in the chopped onion and red bell pepper, cooking until they are softened. Season with cumin powder, chili powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

Once the vegetables are tender, pour in the canned kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it gently bubble away for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

When the chili is almost ready, stir in the chopped dark chocolate until it melts and adds a luxurious richness to the dish. Adjust the seasoning if needed and serve the Spicy Chocolate Chili hot with your favorite toppings, such as avocado slices, sour cream, or shredded cheese.

This Spicy Chocolate Chili recipe yields a total of 1500g of deliciousness, with approximately 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 250g, and you can expect each portion to be around 350 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to add a pinch of instant coffee powder to enhance the richness of the chocolate flavor even more. It may sound unusual, but trust me, it works like magic!

I hope you give this Spicy Chocolate Chili a try soon and enjoy the unique combination of savory beef, spicy chili, and decadent chocolate. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite ingredients and make it your own. Happy cooking!
