That is more like chili porn. Nthing a recipe! Although, I doubt my chances of getting hold of the dried chilis at a low enough price for my budget.

For any other Aussies in this thread, if you google it, there is a place in South Australia that deals in dried chilis and other mexican spices/herbs/etc, they have a website and ship all over Aus. I'd google it myself but I'm running late for an appointment, so I'll try and look it up when I get back.

Didn't really follow a recipe. Just mixed the dried chilies into a powder, browned the beef in many batches, threw everything in a huge pot and let simmer for 5-6 hours.

The chilies are clockwise from the top left: Pasilla, Ancho, Guajillo, Chipotle, Arbol, Serrano, Habanero, Jalapenos and Pakistani.

Then some Mexican chili beer I found, chipotle-infused tequila, beef stock, chipotles in adobo sauce and liquid smoke. Added some blackstrap molasses at the end.

That's what I love about chili. It's almost all about the ingredients. The only technique required is browning the beef correctly.

I just made lamb chili. Seared some stewing meat, added to softened onions and garlic, then added a can of diced tomatoes, a bottle of stout, a couple cubes of home made lamb stock, the least crappy selection of chiles I could find (piri-piri, chipotle paste, pickled jalapeņos, some chili powder I found with anchos in it), other spices (cumin, oregano, some tiny pinches of cinnamon), a little bit of cocoa, a poor man's gastrique made from sugar dissolved in warm apple cider vinegar, and a half cup of seriously strong coffee.

It tasted absolutely delicious, but I think it can get even better with a non-lovely assortment of whole chiles. Pretty stoked since I've never really made chili without some kind of a recipe before.

Anybody use offal cuts of meat for chili often? Which ones? The cheapness is enticing.

I'm very interested in this too. Hearts are incredibly cheap, healthy and seem like a good cut to use in chili. Anyone tried it?
