	Gaunty43 / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago zingy chli that will ensure you never go back to mince and red kidney beans again. This recipe does contain tomatoes and beans which the real authentic chili does not contain, however, they impart a very nice texture and flavour so I have included them....

Ingredients

1Kg, stewing beef, cut into chunks the size of a large butter bean.

½ packet of Pinto Beans soaked overnight. Actually I cook mine for 20 minutes in a pressure cooker. I find the texture is more buttery done this way.

1 Can of chopped tomatoes,

Large bottle of beer such as Aztec Beer, Sol or Dos Equis will do.

2 Large onions, finely chopped

6 Cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped.

2 Sticks of celery, chopped

2-3 peppers, red and green are fine - sliced into short strips. I use one of each.

Jar of Jalapeño peppers

Table Spoon of salt

Table spoon of course ground pepper.

1 Tablespoon of cumin

2 heaped teaspoons of chili powder or 8 fresh chili’s seeded and chopped.

( If you can lay your hand on a jar of Chipotle Chiles in Adobe do so and add 2 teaspoons full) I got mine from Sainsbury’s in the section where you get things like real vanilla extract, Japanese ingredient etc. Check out www.coolchile.co.uk

¼ cup of balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon of brown sugar

1 teaspoon of dark instant coffee.

Directions

• Brown the beef and once done add the onions and garlic and sauté for 5 min’s.

• Add the salt, pepper, cumin and chili and jar of Jalapeño peppers including the juice as well as the coffee and sugar and mix in well.

• Add the celery and the sliced peppers and stir in gently.

• Add the beer and canned tomatoes and stir in well.

• Add the pinto beans

• Bring to the boil and turn to simmer very gently for 4 hours, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick.

• Add additional beer if required.

• Thicken with corn flour about 30 minutes before the cooking is done.
