What's your twist on the classic beef chili and beans recipe

[Anonymous No.19726662]

What changes do you make to your chili that's not typically part of the average chili recipe? Me I add shiitake mushrooms sautéed in sesame oil and chili flakes. It works really well and I highly suggest you to try it if you're not a purist

I put anchovies and pineapple in mine. They pair very well with the beans, really makes them pop.

call me crazy but i actually think the pineapple could work with it's acidity and sweetness. not going to try it but just from a flavour profile it might actually work

>chunks of beef, not ground
>dry peppers
>no beans

That's the non-sloppa baseline. Other than that you can add corn flour and corn, or mushrooms. But if you're bored with chili just go for one of the endless beef stews every country has like beef bourguignon, tuscan, whatever. Usually involves adding a bottle of red wine to it.

i tried red wine in my chili last time and it really didn't turn out well. i probably used too much or the wrong kind because it really took over the whole flavour of the dish. i made a pretty big batch and bought a small half-bottle so i really didn't think it would be THAT pungent

A small amount of chocolate product goes a long way. I've used cocoa powder, baking chocolate, but I've actually found that the bosun chocolate stout from TJ's used to deglaze is perfect. I don't like to drink it, so I use half the can then freeze the rest for next time.
Also I like to use either viet mushroom seasoning granules or hon-dashi. They just make everything so much better, it's like a secret weapon, I use them in gravies and bisques too and everyone says it's the best they've had and no one's the wiser.
Try fire-roasted poblano or hatch chiles, and dried ancho. Also if you use corn masa flour, try toasting it golden brown in the oven first you get a better corn flour.

Add some cognac before serving to give the dish some floral aromas.

[Anonymous No.19727896]

>>19727789
as opposed to meat stew?

[Anonymous No.19727914]

>>19727853
but cognac doesn't have floral aromas, gin does...

I replace the meat with vegan soy protein that imitates ground beef and i omit the chili because I don't like hot food.

anchovies would probably be great. i dont give a fuck about what someone would consider authentic, I put black beans in every time

Use half ground beef and have ground hot Italian sausage. Like others have said chocolate of some kind is good.

You never tried cognac, didn't you? Gin just adds juniper flavour so you could just add juniper berries anyways.

This, and I add in half a can of whatever beer I'm drinking while it simmers.
