BEEF CHILI WITH RED BEANS AND CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Making chili is nothing more than mounting layers of flavor and letting them all simmer together. Get in the habit of tasting recipes in stages; this way if something is not quite right, adjustments can be made on the spot.
• Season the beef shoulder all over with salt and pepper then put it in a large soup pot. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch, about 3 quarts, and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Mix in the onions, garlic, chipotles, and jalapeno. Stir in the Ancho Chile Powder. Pour the entire can of tomatoes, with the liquid, into a bowl and hand-crush until chunky; add the crushed tomatoes to the pot along with the tomato paste. Simmer until the meat is fork tender and comes apart with no resistance, about 2 hours. As it cooks down, add more water if necessary. After the chili has cooked a couple of hours, take a wooden spoon and beat it vigorously so the meat shreds apart.
• Add the next layer of flavor by stirring in the beans and cornmeal. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for another hour, stirring occasionally. Partially cover the pot so the steam does not get trapped under the lid and drip down into the chili making it watery. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the grated chocolate. Garnish each serving with shredded Cheddar and saltine crackers.
• This homemade chili powder will add a smoky depth to chili and as a dry rub for steaks. Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in a mini food processor and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.
• Yield: about 1 cup

SPICY RED PORK AND BEAN CHILI

Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Add oil to pot and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown pork in about 6 batches without crowding and transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add onion and jalapeños and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add garlic, oregano, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne, then cook, stirring, 1 minute. Return pork to pot with any juices accumulated on plate and add broth, coffee, water, and tomatoes with purée.

• Serve chili with bacon and accompaniments.

FIERY CHILI WITH RED BEANS

Steps:

• Rinse the beans under cool water, removing and discarding any damaged beans and any foreign material. Place the beans in a large pot with the cold water and 1 teaspoon of the salt, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and cook gently for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the beans are tender but not mushy. Set aside; do not drain.
• Cut the beef into 1-inch pieces, and then chop coarsely by hand or in a food processor. When using a food processor, place about 1/2 pound of the chuck in the bowl at a time, and pulse the motor for about 10 seconds.
• Place the pieces of ham rind or bacon in a saucepan, and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until most of the fat has been rendered and the rind is dry and brown. Add the 1 pound of onion pieces and the beef, and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until the meat separates and loses its red color. Stir in the garlic, jalapeno pepper and tomatoes.
• Using a mini-chopper or small coffee grinder, process the coriander seeds, and add them to the saucepan, along with the cumin powder, mustard, red pepper flakes, chili powder and the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. Combine the meat mixture and the beans (liquid and all), return to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour. (The mixture will be soupy.)
