TEXAS CHILI



Texas Chili image

Chili tastes are highly personal, often inflexible and loaded with preconceptions - the political party of culinary offerings. "I don't disagree with anyone's chili," Robb Walsh, a Texas food historian, the author of "The Tex-Mex Cookbook" and a restaurateur, told The Times. "If you are making a one-pot meal and you want to put beans in it, that's fine. If chili is part of your cuisine, like Tex-Mex, there are other things you will want to do." This recipe is an amalgam of styles, with coffee and chocolate for complexity, hot sauce for kick and beans just because.

Yield 4 to 6 servings (about 8 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground bison or ground dark turkey
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 12-ounce bottle of beer
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chile sauce
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Half a serrano or other hot pepper, seeded and finely chopped, or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 15-ounce cans kidney beans
1 15-ounce can cannellini or other white beans

Steps:

  • Place a Dutch oven or other large pot over medium heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the meat and sauté until browned, then transfer to a plate.

  • Add the brown sugar, chile sauce, cocoa powder, hot pepper, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt and kidney beans. Return the meat to the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partly covered, for 1 hour.
