Author: Nicole
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 canned chiles in adobo, finely chopped plus 1 teaspoon sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 pounds ground turkey (see Notes)
- 1 (15-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
- 1 cup stout beer (such as Guinness)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed
- 4 ounces good dark chocolate (60% to 70%), chopped
- 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- Kosher salt
- Garnish with: shredded cheese, diced avocado and/or cilantro
- Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften and become translucent, about 7 to 9 minutes.
- Add adobo chiles and sauce, cocoa powder, smoked paprika, ancho chile powder, oregano, cumin, cinnamon and allspice. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add ground meat and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and their juices, beer and stock to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the temperature to a simmer, and cook for 45 to 50 minutes so flavors may marry.
- Turn heat to low (if it’s not already there) and stir in beans, chocolate and peanut butter. Cook until beans are warmed through and chocolate has melted, about 5 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt.
- Serve warm with shredded cheese, diced avocado and/or cilantro.
* You can use ground beef in place of ground turkey.
* Can be made two days in advance. Chili also freezes well.
