BEEF AND BLACK BEAN CHILI WITH TOASTED CUMIN CREMA (BOBBY FLAY)
I posting this recipe to save it. My husband got this recipe out of Maxim Magazine. We made it to the best of our ability but we had to make substitutions because we just couldn't find some of the chili powders. We ended up just using 5 Tbs. of commercial chili powders in place of the 3 Tbs. of ancho chili powder, 1 Tbs. pasilla chili powder, and 1 Tbs. ground cumin. It was still very good. We also substituted ground buffalo for about 1/2 of the beef. Then we made it extra fancy pants... we topped it with the cumin crema, sliced avocado and apple smoked Gruyere.

Tips:
- Choose fresh cumin seeds. Fresh cumin seeds are essential for the best flavor. If you can, buy cumin seeds whole and grind them yourself. Then, use them within a few months for the best flavor.
- Toast the cumin seeds before using. Toasting the cumin seeds will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can put them in a baking dish and toast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.
- Use a good quality crema. Crema is a Mexican sour cream that is made with fresh milk and heavy cream. It is much richer and more flavorful than regular sour cream. If you can't find crema, you can use sour cream, but it won't be as good.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. Cumin crema is a versatile sauce that can be used in many different ways. Try it as a dipping sauce for vegetables, fish, or chicken. You can also use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. Or, you can add it to soups and stews for a boost of flavor.

Cumin crema is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in many different ways. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. The next time you are looking for a new sauce to try, give cumin crema a try. You won't be disappointed!
