How To Make chipotle peach pork chili

  • 1
    SAUCE: Soak dried peppers in water for 30 minutes to an hour to soften. Remove stems from peppers. In a medium sized sauce pan, combine peaches, peppers, water, garlic, and onion. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. With an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree peach & pepper mixture. Set aside.
  • 2
    CHILI: In a large pot, brown pork in olive oil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Saute 5 minutes or until onion becomes translucent. Be careful not to burn garlic. Add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Stir until tomato paste is incorporated. Add canned beans, spices, and chipotle-peach sauce. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning or sticking.
