Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 pasilla chiles, seeded
2 ancho chiles, seeded
1 chile de arbol, seeded
1 1/2 cup chicken stock, plus more as needed for pureeing
2 corn tortillas, quartered
6 tablespoons corn oil
1 1/2 pounds ground venison
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 cup dark beer
4 cups chicken stock
8 sprigs fresh cilantro
1 cinnamon stick
Fresh lime juice, for serving
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chili puree: Combine the pasilla chiles, ancho chiles, chile de arbol and chicken stock in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chiles are soft, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly. Pour into a blender. Add the tortillas and puree until smooth. The chili mixture should be quite thick with just enough liquid to puree. You may need to add a bit of additional stock.
  • For the chili: Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the oil smokes, add the venison and cook, stirring twice, until just brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the onion to the pan with the hot oil and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and cook for 1 minute. Add the chili puree and cook, stirring often to prevent scorching, until thick and very dark, about 7 minutes. Stir in the venison, beer and chicken stock. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until very thick and reduced by half, about 1 hour.
  • Tie the cilantro and cinnamon stick together with kitchen twine. Remove the chili from the heat and stir in the cinnamon and cilantro bundle. Let stand, without stirring, for 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon and cilantro bundle. Let stand, without stirring, for 15 more minutes, then stir in some lime juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right venison: Use venison from a young deer for the most tender and flavorful chili. If you're using venison from an older deer, be sure to braise it for a longer period of time to tenderize it.
  • Brown the venison well: Browning the venison before simmering it in the chili helps to develop its flavor and create a richer, more complex chili.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans, adds flavor and texture to the chili.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: Chili is all about the spices! Be generous with the chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices to taste, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or oregano.
  • Simmer the chili for a long time: The longer you simmer the chili, the more flavorful it will be. Aim for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have the time.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is the perfect dish to serve with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, or chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Venison chili is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover venison from a hunting trip. With its rich flavor and complex spices, venison chili is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
