Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lb ground grass-fed bison
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 10 oz cremini mushrooms, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped chipotle pepper in adobo
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 cup dark stout beer
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 (28-oz) can diced tomatoes
- 2-3 cups chicken stock
- 1 (15.5-oz) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup goat or sheep's milk yogurt
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the bison and sauté, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the onions are translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, until they begin to sweat. Add the chipotles, chili powder, oregano, and cumin and stir until fragrant. Deglaze the pot with the beer and vinegar and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Season with Worcestershire sauce then add the diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Add the beans and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, until heated through.
- Serve the chili in bowls with a good dollop of yogurt.
