Twisted Venison Chili Food

TWISTED VENISON CHILI

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add venison and cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in a separate skillet. Add sausage and cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Combine venison and sausage in a large pot.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic and cook and stir until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully transfer mixture to a food processor and lightly blend. Add to meat mixture.
• Lightly blend tomatoes in a food processor; add to meat mixture. Add chili powder, beef bouillon, liquid smoke, cumin, cayenne, and allspice, stirring after each addition. Stir in beer, kidney beans, tomato sauce, and bourbon.
• Bring chili mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low and let simmer until thickened and reduced, about 1 hour.

VENISON CHILI FROM THE LAND

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon renders its fat, about 4 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Pat the venison dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In batches, cook the meat in the Dutch oven until browned all over, about 6 minutes per batch. Remove the meat to a plate as it browns.
• Once all of the meat is out of the pot, add the onion, bell pepper, green chilies, and garlic and cook until the onion and pepper begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and chipotle powder and cook until the vegetables are coated with the spices, about 1 minute. Pour in the beer, bring to a boil, and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, beef broth, chopped chipotle and chipotle sauce, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Bring to a simmer and add the bacon and venison back. Simmer the stew, partially covered, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thick and flavorful, 1 1/2 hours to 1 hour and 45 minutes, uncovering for the last half an hour. If the meat is tender but the sauce is too thin, simmer rapidly over high heat for a minute or two to reduce, stirring to keep the bottom from burning.

VENISON CHILI

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and saute for 2 to 3 more minutes. Then stir in the red wine, vinegar, tomato paste, chicken stock, cumin, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cilantro and salt. Simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the mixture is reduced by about half.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the bacon and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bacon is browned. Move the bacon to one side of the skillet and add the venison to the empty side of the skillet. Season the meat with salt to taste and saute the meat for 15 minutes, or until well browned. Stir in the beans and toss all together. Transfer this mixture to the simmering pot.
• Mix everything together thoroughly and let simmer for about 20 more minutes.
