BOSTON MARATHON CHILI



Boston Marathon Chili image

Provided by Ellen

Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Beef     Onion     Pepper     Pork     Tomato     Super Bowl     Kid-Friendly     Bon Appétit     Massachusetts     Small Plates

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large onions, chopped
2 green bell peppers, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 pounds boneless pork butt or boneless country-style spareribs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, chopped, liquid reserved
1/3 cup chili powder
1 to 2 large jalapeño chilies, chopped
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 16-ounce can black beans, drained
1/2 cup dry red wine
Grated cheddar cheese
Chopped fresh cilantro
Chopped red onions
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 onions, bell peppers and garlic and sauté until tender, about 14 minutes. Transfer mixture to plate, using slotted spoon. Add beef and pork to Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat until no longer pink, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Return onion mixture to Dutch oven. Add tomatoes with liquid, chili powder, jalapeños and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Cover Dutch oven and simmer until beef and pork are almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • Add black beans and red wine to chili. Simmer uncovered until beef and pork are tender and chili thickens, about 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls. Serve, passing cheese, cilantro, red onions and sour cream separately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beans. Dried black beans are the best choice for this chili because they hold their shape well and have a slightly nutty flavor. If you're using canned beans, rinse them well before adding them to the chili.
  • Soak the beans overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include onions, garlic, bell peppers, carrots, and corn.
  • Use a good quality chili powder. This is the key ingredient in any chili recipe, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a chili powder that is made with a variety of chili peppers, including ancho, guajillo, and pasilla peppers.
  • Season the chili to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking. Some common spices used in chili include cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Boston Black Bean Chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is easy to make and perfect for a cold night. With its combination of black beans, vegetables, and spices, this chili is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give Boston Black Bean Chili a try!
