Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Pat the brisket cubes dry with paper towels.
Heat the oil in a very large heavy-bottomed pot and quickly brown the meat, in batches, on all sides.
Transfer the brisket to a separate bowl and set aside.
Saute the onion and garlic in the same oil over medium heat until limp, but not brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the chili powder, pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and cumin and saute for 1 minute.
Add the green peppers, bay leaf, tomatoes with their juice, the reserved meat, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and simmer for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and season with salt, to taste.
Add the coffee, cover the pot and simmer for 1 more hour.
Add the kidney beans and basil, and warm through.
Transfer the chili to a large serving bowl and serve with sour cream, grated Cheddar, diced tomato, tortilla chips and guacamole.
Recommended wine: Cava, Shiraz, Grenache
Chili works really well with Cava, Shiraz, and Grenache. 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. You could try Maximin Grunhauser Herrenberg Riesling Spatlese. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 50 dollars per bottle.
Maximin Grunhauser Herrenberg Riesling Spatlese
The Herrenberg Spatlese is always the flashiest wine at Grunhaus as the vineyards red slate soils render a more lush, slightly lower acid riesling that its bigger brother Abstberg. Spatlese sweet with explosive aromas and flavors of red delicious apples, yellow peaches, strawberry/rhubarb and salty minerals. Full bodied for a riesling, serve with a Virginia baked ham, a spicy lamb curry or just a traditional Jaeger schnitzel.
