Made this today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/beef_chilli_with_bitter_27455
Except because I couldn't find a dried chipotle chilli I used 8 cayenne peppers instead, including the seeds. Gives it quite a kick!
HOWEVER, my advice to anyone cooking it is to use less chocolate or none at all. I put the full 75g in and it's basically ruined a chilli that tasted fantastic beforehand.
All the homemade chillis I've had previously (not made by me) have been watery messes with way too much focus on the hotness. Leaving it to simmer for nearly 2 hours really does make a difference.
Has anyone else used chocolate in their chillies? Any tips?
