Piri-Piri oil (Recipe on Spice Package)
Trim any fat from meat and cut into ½ inch cubes.
Heat oil in large casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat. In small batches, brown meat on all sides. Set aside.
Remove all but 2 Tablespoon fat from pot. Add onions and sauté until soft about 5 minutes. Add chili powder, African Piri-Piri Spice Blend, garlic and cook stirring until fragrant about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, broth, peppers, browned meat, salt and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 1½ hour until meat is very tender.
Add beans, stir; bring back to simmer, cook gently about 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve in deep bowls with garnishes. Serve with corn bread.
Makes 10 servings.
For extra heat add prepared Piri-Piri pepper oil to taste along with garnishes.
Note: I prefer using pork in my chili. I use boneless country style ribs cut into cubes as per recipe.
You can use a combination of pinto, kidney, black and garbanzo beans in the chili.
