Steps:
- Make the chili: Put the beans in a Dutch oven or large pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook 10 minutes. Drain the beans, return them to the pot and cover with water by about 3 inches. Add the thyme, bay leaves and 4 smashed garlic cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, skimming off any foam, until the beans begin to soften, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, ancho chile powder, paprika, oregano, cumin and cloves; cook 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes and cook, stirring, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer the tomato mixture to the pot with the beans. Add the pork and 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Bring just to a boil; reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans and pork are tender, about 2 hours. (Add water to keep the pork covered, if needed.) Discard the bay leaves.
- Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: Combine the masa harina, melted butter and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 to 2 cups warm water to make a soft dough. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then press your thumb into each one to form a cup shape. Cover with plastic wrap until the chili is ready.
- Combine the remaining 2 smashed garlic cloves, the cilantro, lime juice, 1 1/2 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt in a blender and puree until smooth. Stir the cilantro mixture into the chili. Gently add the dumplings (do not stir) and simmer until cooked through and firm, 30 to 35 minutes. Thin the chili with a splash of hot water, if needed. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese; serve with lime wedges and sour cream, if desired.

LAMB CHILI WITH MASA HARINA DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- Make chili:
- Simmer dried chiles in 2 cups water, covered, in a 2-quart heavy saucepan until very soft, about 20 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking liquid, then drain in a colander. Stem chiles (do not remove seeds), then purée in a blender with reserved cooking liquid until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Reserve purée.

Add cumin and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Stir in reserved chile purée and chipotles and simmer, stirring frequently and scraping up brown bits from bottom of pot, 5 minutes. Add lamb along with any juices accumulated in bowl and remaining 3 cups water, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until lamb is tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

- Stir together masa harina, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Blend in lard pieces with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, stirring just until dough is moistened (do not overmix).

Steps:
- Using your hands or the back of a paring knife, scrape off half of the breading from the chicken fingers. Discard the excess breading. Put the chicken fingers into a mixing bowl with the milk and use your hands to break up the chicken into smaller pieces.
- Place 1 can of the pinto beans along with its liquid into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a bowl and reserve. Do not wash the food processor; you will be using it again to make the chicken dumplings.

Add the chicken broth and blended pinto beans. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the chicken finger dumplings. Add the chicken fingers and egg to the used food processor bowl. Blend until it resembles a chunky puree (similar to tuna fish). Transfer the puree to a mixing bowl and stir in the cornstarch.
- Add the remaining can of beans with their liquid to the stew. Then drop rounded teaspoons of the dumpling batter into the stew, making about 24 dumplings. Cover with a lid and cook until the dumplings are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh corn is essential for making the best corn dumplings. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the dumplings tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Boil the dumplings in salted water: This will help to flavor the dumplings and prevent them from sticking together.
- Serve the dumplings immediately: Corn dumplings are best served immediately after they are made. They can be served with a variety of sauces, such as chili sauce, salsa, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Corn dumplings are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are especially popular in the summer when fresh corn is in season. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make corn dumplings that your family and friends will love.
