Venison And Black Bean Chili With Toasted Cumin Creme Fraiche And White Cheddar Cornbread Recipes

VENISON CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a very large skillet. Stir in the onion, garlic and chili pepper and saute over medium-high heat until the onion is just tender, about five minutes.
• Add the cubed and the ground venison and continue cooking for four to five minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the ground meat is no longer red. Add all the remaining ingredients except the kidney beans and masa harina. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The stew should be fairly thick.
• Stir in the kidney beans and masa harina and heat through. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

• While the chili is simmering, sauté the onion until soft and set aside.
• Once the meat is tender, add the beans and onions. Simmer for 15 more minutes and season to taste.
