Chocolate Chip Chili
This recipe for Chocolate Chip Chili was featured on the Today Show by Nigella Lawson. Ms. Lawson used a Basil Staub Cocotte in this recipe, much like the one you will see in our "Featured Products" section at the bottom of this page.
Ingredients:
10 (or 5 linked pairs) chorizo sausages (not the salami sort), approximately 1 1/4
pounds
3 1/4 pound boneless beef shank,
cut into 3/4 inch cubes
3 onions (about 1 pound), peeled
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 fresh long red chile, seeded
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Seeds from 3 cardamom pods
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried pepper flakes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup tomato ketchup
4 (15 oz) cans red kidney beans,
drained
3 (14 oz) cans diced tomatoes
1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup water (swished out in one of the diced tomato cans)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. Finely chop, or process, the onion, garlic, and chile.
3. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pan (with a lid) or cast-iron or enameled
Dutch oven and fry the onion, garlic, and chile until soft, on low for about 10 minutes, then add the cardamom seeds, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and red pepper flakes.
4. Stir the oniony spiced mixture together and then add the chorizo, sliced into 1/4 inch coins, letting them ooze their paprika-orange oil.
5. Drop in the cubes of beef, turning them in the pan with the chorizo and onion mix, to brown the meat.
6. Stir in the tomato paste, ketchup, drained kidney beans and diced tomatoes. Add the water and bring the chili to a boil.
7. Once bubbling, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the chili and give it a good stir. Put on the lid and transfer to the oven.
8. Cook at this low heat for 3 hours. Once cooked it is best left overnight to improve the flavor.
