Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound chorizo, casings removed
1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 cup lager
4 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 tablespoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
14 ounces diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup tomato puree

Steps:

  • Heat 1Tbsp. oil in a large heavy pot over high. Cook chorizo, stirring occasionally and breaking up with spoon, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high and add remaining 1/2 Tbsp. oil to pot, then onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add lager and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits on bottom of pot; cook until liquid is completely evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder, oregano, and cinnamon and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in bay leaves, diced tomatoes, broth, and tomato purée and bring to a boil.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final dish. Use fresh, organic vegetables, and high-quality chicken and chorizo.
  • Brown the chicken and chorizo before adding them to the chili: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different beans have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will give your chili more depth of flavor. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Add spices to taste: Chili is a great dish to experiment with different spices. Some common spices used in chili include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will help to develop the flavors and allow the beans to soften.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chili include cheese, sour cream, and avocado.
