How to Make Spicy Chocolate Chili (My Version of Cincy Chili)
- Now, over medium heat begin adding tomatoes, beans and peppers. (Add cans of pimentos at the end of cooking time and the Lindt Spicy Chocolate bar.) Once that is all stirred together begin adding you spices and sauces. Once all ingredients are added lower heat to a simmer for 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours before serving. It can cook longer if you like. The longer it cooks the better it tastes and the smell is intoxicating!!! I don't know what I like more the smell of spices, scent of cinnamon or aroma of chocolate.
Add the 2 squares of chocolate about 1/2 to 45 minutes before done. - Posted here is link for the World Food Championships. justapinch.com/...championships-2013
