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.
- Pat lamb dry, then sprinkle with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat 2 tablespoons lard in a 6-quart wide heavy pot or a 3-inch-deep straight-sided skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown lamb in 4 batches (without crowding), turning occasionally, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add remaining tablespoon lard to pot, then cook onion, garlic, bay leaves, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. 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.

Also you can omit the chicken if you want and use canned chicken broth or bouillon cubes.

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.
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chili powder and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the salsa and cook for 2 minutes. 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.

SHEET PAN TURKEY CHILI WITH CORNBREAD "DUMPLINGS"
A different way to prepare chili and cornbread! This is a bit on the spicier side, so go easy on the chili powder and jalapenos for a milder version. This really fills up the sheet pan to the top, but don't worry, it will fit! If you're worried about spills, place aluminum foil on the oven rack before baking.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the chili will taste. This is especially true for the vegetables and spices.
- Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the meat will steam instead of brown.
- Use a variety of beans: Different beans have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will give your chili a more complex flavor. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with spices: Chili is a great dish to experiment with different spices. Some common spices used in chili include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano. You can also add other spices to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Let the chili simmer for a long time: The longer the chili simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, onions, and avocado.
