Ask the Chef – Tips & Tricks

Browning Meat: Brown the meat in small batches over high heat, if you add too much meat all at once, it will release moisture and start steaming instead of browning. This might cause the meat to stew, rather than brown.
Adjust Heat: Adjust the heat of your chili according to your preference. If you cannot handle spicy food, reduce or omit the habanero pepper and jalapeno peppers. Alternatively, you could add a pinch of sugar to balance out the heat.
Simmering Time: Simmer the chili uncovered for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. If you start to notice the chili getting too thick, add a little water or broth to get the right consistency.
Draining Beans: Be sure to drain the canned kidney beans to avoid creating a watery chili.
Chili Powder: Use chili powder that’s not very spicy or add a little bit at a time, to avoid making your chili too hot.
Beer: Use a good quality beer that you would be happy drinking to add your chili. A good beer will create a rich depth of flavor in your chili.
