Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green bell pepper and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high heat and stir in the ground alligator. Cook and stir until the meat is crumbly, and evenly browned.
Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato-vegetable juice cocktail, black beans, kidney beans, and chipotle chile. Season with chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, smoked paprika, celery salt, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring in water if the chili becomes too thick.
Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz
Chili works really well with Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Papet del Mas Cava Brut with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
Papet del Mas Cava Brut
Pleasant fruit aromas and a bright, clear color. The taste sensation in the mouth is very pleasant, light and well balanced, fresh and very cheerful feeling, good persistence, with fruit and flower notes. The aftertaste invites you to continue savoring the wine.
