WILD GAME CHILI (VENISON AND WILD BOAR)



Wild Game Chili (Venison and Wild Boar) image

You can use your favorite game meat for this chili. I used the venison and wild boar because they were easier for me to find. You want to add the vegetables in layers in order to get a complex flavor throughout. I do not like beans in my chili, so if you are a bean lover, just add a can of kidney beans to the recipe.

WILD BOAR CHILI



Wild Boar Chili image

I made this recipe when I was trying to think of what to do with the bony shoulder cut of the young wild boar we had. After some searching on the internet, I decided to make a chili from it. It works better than just normal pork as it is leaner and the flavour is different than domestic pork. I think that this recipe would work with an older boar as well. For the chili powder, I very highly recommend using this recipe http://www.recipezaar.com/Chili-Powder-16892 I usually make a big batch of it and store in a large empty spice container so I have it on hand. It is quick to make, and it gives you a better flavour than the commercial ones and you can control the salt levels easier. If you have some excess fat, you can cut down on the oil by frying the fat pieces and frying the onions and garlic in that. Just be sure to remove the fat pieces before adding the meat. We serve this over white rice, but you could have it by itself or whatever you usually have chili with.
