Two-Tomato Stew Chili
Ingredients
  • 1
    8 - 8 1/2 ounce jar oil-packed dried tomatoes
  • 2
    pounds beef chuck, cut in 1-inch cubes
  • 3
    cups chopped onions
  • 6
    cloves garlic, minced
  • 2
    red sweet peppers, chopped
  • 2
    green sweet peppers, chopped
  • 2
    medium carrots, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2
    cup golden raisins
  • 4
    teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 - 1
    teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1
    4 1/2 ounce can diced green chiles
  • 1
    28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 2
    cups water
  • 1/4
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/4
    teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8
    ounces smoked mozzarella, shredded
  • Sliced dried tomatoes (optional)
  • Toasted baguette slices (optional)
Directions

1. Drain the dried tomatoes, reserving 2 tablespoons of the oil. Chop tomatoes; set aside. In a Dutch oven heat the reserved oil over medium-high heat. Brown beef, half at a time.

2. Return all beef to Dutch oven. Add onions, garlic, sweet peppers, and carrots; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in chopped dried tomatoes, raisins, cumin, and crushed red pepper; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in undrained green chiles; cook for 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes and 2 cups of water; bring to boiling. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, covered, for 1 to 1-1/14 hours, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender. Remove from heat. Add salt and pepper. Top with cheese and, if desired, sliced dried tomatoes. If desired, serve with baguette slices.

loved this, but I made a few changes. Sun Dried tomatos (unless you make your own, are very expensive. I used paste to get the rich flavor. I also didn't use the raisins as I didn't have. And I used leeks as I had some leftover from soup I made last week. I like the milder flavor of them. When served I used basic grated cheese (smoked mozz also expensive) and added a couple dollops of sour cream. served with garlic bread. Great meal on cold damp night!

Definitely an interesting rif on chili. It was a tad too sweet and not quite spicy enough for my family, so would increase the red pepper (used the full amount and hot style from Penzey's) and the fire roasted green chilies and maybe either reduce or eliminate the raisins. Smoked mozzarella was a great addition.

This was an excellent sweet and spicy chili! I lost so much chuck to trimming, though, I think I'd buy closer to 3 pounds of beef next time. Delicious.
