How to make sublime chili

First of all, I almost tripled the recipe so don't look at the photos for quantities.

Cut the meat in rather large chunks. Brown the meat in oil and add to a large pot.

Dice the pork and fry it.

Add the chopped onions and garlic, fry with the pork.

Mix the pork with the meat and the onions.

Add the green and red chili fruits.

At this point I changed pots since the one I chose was way too small for all the meat.

Add tomato paste..

..cocoa powder...

..cumin..

..smoked paprika powder..

..thyme and oregano..

..bay leaves..

Stir.

Add canned chopped tomatoes, beer, water and barbeque sauce. I used Sweet Baby Ray's. Season with salt & pepper. Boil for 2 hours, with the lid on. Stir every now and then.

Here it has boiled about 1 1/2 hours. After 2 hours remove lid and boil another 30 min.

Slowly getting there. At this point I removed some fluid that I later put back in the pot after the chili had cooled somewhat.

Serve with tortilla bread, salad and grated (cheddar) cheese.
