Venison Chili Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

Vegetable cooking spray, as needed
2 cups chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 fresh Anaheim chiles, seeded, minced
2 fresh jalapeño chiles, seeded, minced
2 lb boneless shoulder or leg of venison, trimmed of all fat,
and cut into 1/2" cubes
1 tbsp freshly-ground black pepper
3 tbsp good-quality chili powder
2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 dried ancho chiles, seeded, chopped
1/4 tsp crushed dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed dried thyme
1 can light beer - (12 oz)
3 cups water
1 can low-sodium Italian-style
tomatoes - (28 oz), with their juice
1 can black beans - (15 oz), drained, rinsed,
and drained again
1/4 cup finely-chopped fresh cilantro

Recipe Instructions:

Lightly spray the bottom of a large pot with cooking spray. Add onion, garlic, and fresh chiles. Saute over medium-low heat, stirring, until onion is limp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to a dish; keep warm.

Sprinkle the cubed venison with pepper. Add the seasoned venison to the pot (if necessary, lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking) and cook, stirring, until venison is well browned.

Return onions to the pot and add the remaining ingredients except black beans and cilantro. Stir well, breaking up the tomatoes with the back of a spoon. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, until the venison is tender. If chili seems too dry, add water as needed to maintain desired consistency.

Stir in black beans and cilantro. Cook for another 10 minutes, until beans are heated through. Ladle the chili into soup bowls and serve.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
