Yield 8 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 pounds tomatillos
3 chipotle chilies (from canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce)
1 4 to 5 pound duck, thawed
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 cups chopped sweet onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 12-ounce package chicken andouille sausage, diced
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
2 tablespoons ground ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 12-ounce dark beer
1 bay leaf
1 cup fresh (or frozen) corn kernels
1 cup chopped poblano chilies, stems and seeds removed
1 15.5-ounce can navy beans, drained and rinsed
1 4-ounce can chopped green chilies
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Corn chips, as topping
Queso fresco, crumbled, as topping
Sour cream, as topping

Steps:

  • Peel the papery skins from the tomatillos and rinse with water. Puree the tomatillos and the chipotle chilies together in a blender or large food processor. Set aside. Cut the duck down into two breasts and two leg/thigh quarters. Trim excess skin. Discard or save for another use the backbone, the wings, any innards, and the skin trimmings. Season the duck pieces on both sides with salt and pepper. Preheat the oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot. Brown the duck pieces until a significant amount of duck fat has rendered, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the duck pieces to a plate to cool. The duck will not be fully cooked. Whisk the flour into the duck fat, a couple of tablespoons at a time, until a thick (but still liquid) roux has formed. The entire 1/2 cup of flour may not be required. Continue to whisk until the roux darkens to the color of peanut butter. Stir in the onions and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken sausage and the turkey and cook until the ground turkey is no longer pink. Stir in the ancho, the cumin, and the garlic powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the beer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the tomatillo and chipotle puree. Stir in the bay leaf and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Remove the skin and bones from the duck pieces. Coarsely chop the duck meat and stir into the chili pot. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Stir in the corn, the poblano chilies, the beans, the canned chilies, and the oregano. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Stir in the cilantro. Taste the chili and add salt and pepper, to taste, as necessary. Serve with toppings: the corn chips, the queso fresco, and the sour cream.
