Instructions
Split, stem, and seed the chiles. Toast the chiles in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, turning and flattening with a spatula, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Put the chiles in a heatproof bowl, cover with very hot water, and set aside until soft, about 30 minutes.
Drain, reserve soaking liquid, chop chiles roughly, and set aside.
While the chiles soak, char the onion and garlic in the same dry skillet over medium heat until the onion blackens slightly and garlic softens in the skin, about 8 minutes. Cool, squeeze the garlic out of the skin, and put in a blender with chiles and onion. Puree to a paste, adding soaking liquid as needed (about 3/4 cup) to help the mixture break down.
Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chile mixture and cook, stirring, until thick and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
Add the tomato puree, coffee, sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, oregano, cloves, and cumin. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
Stir in vinegar and season with salt to taste.
Recommended wine: Cava, Shiraz, Grenache
Cava, Shiraz, and Grenache are my top picks for Chili. 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 Marques de Caceres Cava with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
