Joe's Red Bear Chili
« on: May 23, 2013, 09:33:02 PM »
2-3 pound bear shoulder roast deboned
Powdered oregano
powdered cumin
Sea-salt
2 cups hearty red  wine
7 cloves garlic peeled
1 onion cut in half
4 dried Pasilla-Ancho chilies (Stems and seeds removed)
4 dried New Mexico red chilies (Stems and seeds removed)
4 cups water
1 8-oz can tomato sauce
1 14.5-oz can stewed tomatoes.

Season all sides of the roast with the sea salt, oregano, and cumin and rub it into the roast.  In a heated Dutch oven add 1 Tbs. olive oil, sear the roast on all sides, toss in the garlic, onion and chili peppers,  Add wine and water (enough to cover the roast) and cover with a lid.  Reduce heat and simmer for at least 2 hours or until the roast can easily be pulled apart by hand.  When ready, remove the roast to a cutting board and allow to cool.  With a slotted spoon remove the chilies, garlic and onion and place into a blender.  Strain off the oil from the broth and add 1 cup of broth and tomato sauce to the blender.  Blend on high to form a sauce, slowly add more broth to desired thickness.  Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.  Remove any broth left in the dutch  oven and set aside.  The roast should be cool enough to handle at this point- pull the meat apart and place back into the Dutch oven.  Add the can of stewed tomatoes and the chili sauce, stir and reheat.  Serve with Tortilla shells or Spanish rice.

cumin, red wine, and tomato sauce, and tomato chunks....together.........  :sry:

sorry but i cannot see those 3 together going well under any circumstance and i have spent enough time in several gourmet kitchens to see it all, and some things do not belong together what so ever under ANY circumstance  :sry:

if it were me, and i dont know everything but i know a little, id kill the tomato sauce all together, cut the wine down to like 1/2 cup if any at all, then swap the stewed  tomato for fire roasted tomato chunks, and leave the cumin or better yet swap it for cayenne (1 TBSP) and let it SLOWLY cook down tender. blam you oughta be in heaven :tup:

Well that's the thing about recipe's they are just guidelines.  I know what I like and I have won several chili cook-offs with this.

Thanks for posting I was able to use this recipe last night with a bear roast from my spring bear. Never made bear chili, it turned out great! Although several people thought bear chili sounded a little sketchy :chuckle:

Sounds great! Looking forward to trying it with some venison instead of bear  :tup:

and thats all that matters is the eater likes it, i will try it and see its just one of those things you read and go ...uh, yuck, but for me maybe its just because I have always thought wine and cumin were nasty together  :chuckle: either way thanks for sharing!
