Recipe from: loof
Servings: 4
A great and filling chili - adjust the chipotle chilis to your desired spiciness. Beef broth can be substituted for the beer if desired.
2 teaspoons oil
1 small onion
4 garlic cloves
12 ounces pork loin
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 yellow bell pepper
12 ounce can beer
½ cup picante sauce
1 to 2 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle chiles in adobo
16 ounce can red beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup sour cream, can use light or fat-free
¼ cup cilantro leaves, optional
Chop the onion. Mince the garlic. Cut the pepper into ½ inch chunks. Cut the pork into ¾ inch cubes. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook 3 minutes. Toss the pork cubes with the cumin and chili powder until well coated. Add the pork to the saucepan and cook until the pork is browned, about 3 minutes. Add the bell pepper, beer, picante sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the chipotle chilis. Bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer about 5 minutes or until pork is tender. Taste and add more chipotle if desired. Add the beans and heat through. Serve topped with sour cream and cilantro, if desired.
