Eleanor wants vegetable chili for dinner tonight.
Well who am I to deny her? Is four different peppers sufficient? 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
@holon42 It'll be a big ole pot so it's not going to blow anyone's head off but so much flavour! 😋
yes, just kidding, sounds delish. i love veggie chili, with plenty of pure unfiltered corn oil to make up for the lack of fat.
yum😋😋😋
@holon42 Ooooh! I'll be adding a bit of cocoa and since we're not actually vegetarians, I might be cheeky and use beef stock 😜
cocoa? hmmm, that's something i've never thought of.
how does its flavour change the brew 🧙
@holon42 It adds a savoury depth. You only need a little. I'll add maybe a teaspoon (15ml/5g) to this recipe. Cocoa and chillies are born to be together.
There's an old saying in cookery:
If it grows together, it goes together.
I usually add a little cocoa, too. It works really well with the earthiness of beans and chiles.
And chocolate and chiles are a traditional Mexican combination. Think mole negro--which I use as an inspiration for my chili.
