Spicy Chocolate Chili Recipe

Today’s Special: Spicy Chocolate Chili

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique dish that’s perfect for warming up on a chilly autumn evening. The combination of spicy chili and rich chocolate may sound unusual, but trust me, it’s a match made in culinary heaven. So, let’s get started on creating this delicious Spicy Chocolate Chili!

Ingredients:

• 500g ground beef
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 can (400g) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes
• 500ml beef broth
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• wooden spoon
• knife
• cutting board

I start by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Once it’s cooked through, I add in the diced onions and chopped bell pepper, sautéing until they are softened. Next, I mix in the black beans, diced tomatoes, and beef broth, stirring well to combine all the flavors.

Now, it’s time to add the unique twist to this chili. I sprinkle in the cocoa powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, giving it a good stir to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed. The aroma that fills the kitchen is already mouthwatering!

I let the chili simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, allowing all the ingredients to meld together and the flavors to intensify. The result is a thick, hearty chili with a hint of chocolatey richness and a subtle kick of spice.

Final Touches:

To serve, ladle the Spicy Chocolate Chili into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for a fresh contrast. You can also add a handful of shredded cheese for extra decadence.

Here’s a fun tip: For an extra boost of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the chili while it simmers. The coffee enhances the richness of the chocolate and adds depth to the overall taste.
