Tyler Florence is an amazing chef, and is known to have a really good chili recipe among many other dishes...this is my variation on his chili with a few of my own changes and additions. I kicked up the spice with more chipotle peppers and added roasted red peppers to deepen the flavor as well as changing up the spices to make it my own.
I love taking an already good recipe and changing the flavors to create something different...especially when the result is a success!
For everyone out there that likes beans but they don't like you...this is your chili!
Cut 2 red peppers in half and remove all seeds, membranes, and stems.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3
Place red peppers on a baking sheet cut side down and roast for about 13 Minutes.
Turn red peppers over and continue roasting the peppers for another 7 Minutes until there is a nice char on peppers.
4
Remove peppers from the oven and place into a large bowl, cover with a plate or foil and allow them to sit for about 20 Minutes.
This allows them to sweat and makes it easier to peel the skins off.
5
Making sure peppers are cool enough to handle, remove the skins and chop into small pieces; set aside.
Brown the Beef...
6
Cut 2 lbs of beef shoulder roast into large cubes and season with salt and pepper.

Puree Vegetables...

In the bowl of a food processor puree 2 chopped onions, 2 seeded jalapeno peppers, 10 garlic cloves, 4 ancho chilis in adobe sauce, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.

Simmer...
11
Add 4 cups of water, 1 (28-ounce) can of diced tomatoes, the chopped red peppers.
I poured my water into the food processor to pick up the remaining pureed vegetables....get all that goodness into your chili!
