Tips

  • Taste as you go with seasonings, adding more if desired.
  • Blooming the seasonings in hot oil or fat enhances their flavor.
  • Adding stout beer like Guinness makes the flavors deeper and richer.
  • A spoonful of cocoa powder pairs well with the peppers and does not make the chili taste like chocolate.
