    I had an ol’ Greek fireman’s chili recipe. I used all of the ingredients above. A can of smoked oysters is also very good. ‘Even with the chocolate. Be sure you’re aware of everyone’s dietary restrictions because no one ever suspects the oyster tin.

  3. You know chili.

    A spot of molasses or coffee grounds are two other “secret” ingredients I’ve seen elevate chili

  4. more chili secrets: spiced rum, can of pureed pumpkin

    I’m not sure if this can be called chili without chili powder. This is more like vegetarian American Goulash. Bet it would be great with noodles.

    My secrets are a little mezcal, and strong black coffee. It doesn’t take very much of either.

    I use marmite for a bitter tang, this has inspired me to try dark chocolate though

    I should mention that since I made this dish vegetarian, it really didn’t need to be slow-cooked, and one could make this in 30-45 minutes in a pot on the stove!

    A spoonful of creamy peanut butter. You’re welcome.

    OK..

    I took all the advice from this thread and made a chili with dark chocolate, roasted peppers, molasses, coffee grounds, a can of smoke oysters, spiced rum, pureed pumpkin, mezcal, creamy peanut butter, marmite, and this has to be the most disgusting vile concoction I have ever put together!! What did I do wrong?

    I use black onyx cocoa powder. Add depth and makes it really dark. Which, for some reason, makes people think it’s better. But it is.

    Fish sauce always helps, too.

    I will try strong coffee next time….

    My favorite chili add-ins: a boiler maker (beer and whiskey) and dried wild mushrooms that I blitz till they are basically powder.

    I put some cinamon sticks in my chilli. Gives it a nice smokey taste.
