12 oz beer 1. In a large non-aluminum (preferably glass or
glazed cast iron) bowl make a marinade by combining the burgundy,
thyme, bay leaves, garlic, and black pepper. Place all the beef in the
bowl and mix lightly to coat the meat well. Cover and refrigerate
overnight. (If time is short marinate for 2 hours at room
temperature.) 2. Place the chicken breasts in a saucepan with enough water
to cover. Add 1 teaspoon salt and simmer over low heat for 1/2 hour.
Remove the chicken reserving the liquid. Chop the chicken
breasts fine and reserve. 3. Meal the oil in a large heavy pot. Add
the onions and cook until they are translucent. 4. Meanwhile, drain
the beef, straining and reserving the marinade. Mix the beef
and pork together, then combine the meats with the ground chile,
cayenne pepper, oregano, cumin, rosemary, and the rest of the salt.
Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pot with the onions.
Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, until
the meat is evenly browned. 5. Add half the marinade, the reserved
chicken, tomatoes, both tomato sauces, jalapenos, and 1 tablespoon of
liquid hot pepper sauce to the pot. 6. Melt the butter in a heavy
skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh chiles, mushrooms, and a small
amount of the Sauterne and cook for 3 minutes. Add this to the
pot. 7. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for at least 3 hours.
When the chili is cooking, from time to time stir in the remaining
marinade, the remaining Sauterne, and beer. If more liquid is
needed, stir in the |
