From The Young Forever Cookbook

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve the chili in bowls with a good dollop of yogurt.
