Olive oil 1 very large yellow onion, chopped 5 cloves garlic, minced 2 sweet red peppers, seeded, cored and diced 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced (more or less) 3 TBS chili powder (I use 2 Tbl) 1 ½ tsp. Cumin seeds 1 tsp. Ground coriander Pinch ground cinnamon whole chicken breasts skinned, boned, and cut in 1 inch cubes (or 2 lbs. Ground turkey) 2 cans (16 oz. each) tomatoes in puree, chopped (I use DelMonte diced tomatoes) 1 can black beans, drained oz. pitted ripe olives, sliced (very optional) 1 C beer ¼ C grated unsweetened chocolate (or 1T unsweetened cocoa) Salt, to taste Sour cream (garnish) Grated cheddar cheese, garnish Sliced scallions, garnish Diced avocados, garnish I omit sour cream, avocados, sour cream and olives just because of the fat. We like ground turkey. Heat half the oil and add the onion, garlic and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the peppers and sauté for 10 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and set aside. Brown the chicken/turkey in batches in the remaining oil just until cooked through. Add chicken, chocolate, tomatoes and puree, olives, and beer and stir to combine. Simmer over medium heat until ready to eat. About 1 hour. I like to put it in the oven, covered, at 325 and just let it simmer. It requires no tending in the oven, will not burn. Salt and pepper, to taste. I grate cheddar over the top and serve with crusty bread. Red Silver Palette Cookbook, p. 364.
