VENISON CHILI FROM THE LAND

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 slices bacon, chopped
2 pounds venison stew meat, cut into 1- or 2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon paprika (preferably smoked)
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 cup dark beer (such as Dos Equis)
1 (28-ounce) can fire-roasted whole tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can low-sodium beef broth
1 chipotle chili in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons sauce from the can
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon renders its fat, about 4 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Pat the venison dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In batches, cook the meat in the Dutch oven until browned all over, about 6 minutes per batch. Remove the meat to a plate as it browns.
  • Once all of the meat is out of the pot, add the onion, bell pepper, green chilies, and garlic and cook until the onion and pepper begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and chipotle powder and cook until the vegetables are coated with the spices, about 1 minute. Pour in the beer, bring to a boil, and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, beef broth, chopped chipotle and chipotle sauce, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Bring to a simmer and add the bacon and venison back. Simmer the stew, partially covered, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thick and flavorful, 1 1/2 hours to 1 hour and 45 minutes, uncovering for the last half an hour. If the meat is tender but the sauce is too thin, simmer rapidly over high heat for a minute or two to reduce, stirring to keep the bottom from burning.

VENISON CHILI

I got this recipe the last time I was on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and tweaked it some to match our taste. The beans are optional, but if you leave them out you should add another pound of ground venison to the mix.

Categories     Deer

Time 2h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 lbs ground venison
2 1/2 cups onions, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 (1 ounce) packages chili seasoning mix
1 tablespoon steak sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 (18 ounce) can tomato juice
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained
2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 (1 g) packet sugar substitute
2 (7 ounce) cans mushrooms
1 large green bell pepper, chopped

Steps:

  • Coat bottom of a large Dutch oven with cooking spray (I use garlic flavour).
  • Add oil, heat over medium heat.
  • Brown together venison, onion, and garlic until venison is completely browned and onions are translucent.
  • Stir in chili seasoning.
  • Add steak sauce and next 5 ingredients.
  • Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for at least one hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Add beans and rest of ingredients.
  • Continue simmering at least one more hour, until done, stirring occasionally.
  • For thicker chili, remove cover for last half hour of cooking.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality venison: Choose venison that is fresh and free of gamey flavor. If you can, get your venison from a local butcher or hunter.
  • Brown the venison well: This will help to develop the flavor and give the chili a rich, deep color.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers: This will give the chili a complex and flavorful heat. Be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use to your own taste.
  • Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce: This will add a savory and tangy flavor to the chili.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced onions.

Conclusion:

Twisted venison chili is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you have some venison, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
