Step by Step guide
Step 1
Soak the beans in cold water for 6-8 hours, then rinse and drain. Cook the beans until almost done, about 80 minutes.
Step 2
Sauté the ground beef in olive oil until the liquid evaporates and it is lightly browned (10-15 minutes). Then transfer to a deep pot where the chili will be cooked.
Step 3
Chop the onion (into quarter rings), bell pepper (into pieces about 1 cm), chili pepper (1 piece finely chopped after removing seeds), and garlic finely.
Step 4
Mix all the spices in a mortar and grind them slightly.
Step 5
Start by sautéing the onion until translucent, then add the other vegetables (bell pepper, chopped chili pepper, garlic) and sauté, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. Then add the spices and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the meat.
Step 6
Peel the tomatoes (pour boiling water over them for a minute). Blend the tomatoes and add them to the pot.
Step 7
We have 2 chili peppers left; cut one in half and remove the seeds, add it to the pot, and leave the other one whole.
Step 8
Add sugar and salt, gently mix everything and turn on medium heat, simmer for 5-7 minutes. Taste for salt (add a little if needed).
Step 9
Then add the pre-cooked beans to the pot, mix, add water (adjust for consistency, it should be moderately liquid). Add the squeezed lime juice.
Step 10
Cook covered for about 70-80 minutes on low heat with a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 11
5 minutes before it's done, add the chocolate and mix.
Step 12
Serve with grated cheese.
