Wild Boar Chili Food

WILD GAME CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add half each of the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, 10 more minutes; set aside.
• Combine the fire-roasted tomatoes and tomato sauce in a large pot over medium heat and crush with a potato masher. Stir in the reserved meat, the remaining onions and garlic, the bell peppers, parsley, green chile, jalapenos, habanero and New Mexico chile. Add the chili powder, ancho chile powder, chipotle chile powder, 2 teaspoons salt, the cumin, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the beer. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Cut the tomatoes in half and set cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tomatoes with more olive oil and sprinkle with salt; bake until darkened and wrinkled, about 1 hour.
• Crush the tomatoes with the potato masher and add to the pot; cover and simmer 2 more hours. Season with salt.

ROAST BOAR AND BLACK BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the bacon drippings with the crushed garlic, two tablespoons of the chili powder, the cumin and freshly ground pepper. Spread over the wild boar and let stand while preparing the beans.
• In a large pot, cover the beans with cold water. Heat to boiling and boil for two minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand one hour. Drain. Wipe out the pot and return the beans, cover with cold water and heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Cook the salt pork in boiling water for five minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a heavy, deep casserole. Stir in the salt pork and cook over medium heat until golden, about three minutes. Stir in the onion, minced garlic and jalapeno pepper; cook one minute. Stir in the ham; cook two minutes longer.
• Stir the remaining tablespoon of chili powder into the onion mixture. Add the beans, two cups of the broth, the bay leaf, oregano, vinegar and rum. Mix well. Place the saddle of boar on top of the beans, cover and put in the middle of the oven. Cook for one-and-a-half to two hours, or until internal temperature reads 170 degrees on a meat thermometer, turning the meat twice and stirring the beans. Add more broth if too dry.
• Remove the meat and allow it to stand, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, skim the fat from the chili and boil the chili to thicken, if desired. Cut the meat from the bone, and into thin slices, and layer it over the beans. If desired, stew, covered, to tenderize the meat. Serve with the rice and a sprinkling of scallions and hard-cooked egg. Pass the remaining scallions and egg in separate bowls for garnish.
