This is a delicious and spicy face-ripper The pickled peppers and olives bring a lot of acidity and salt to the table, so be careful with any salt additions. I also try to use 'Blue Menu' canned goods found at Superstore since they have extremely low sodium content.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1.5 lbs beef, turkey, chicken or pork (cubed sautéed, or ground) (optional – smoke it)
2 medium yellow onions, diced
1 bulb of garlic, smashed
1 bell pepper, diced (optional - roast it)
2 fresh jalapeño peppers, sliced
½ cup green olives, sliced
1 cup black olives, sliced
½ cup pickled jalapeño peppers, sliced
2 x 28 oz cans stewed tomatoes
1 x 19 oz can mixed, black, pinto or kidney beans, drained and rinsed (no salt added)
1 x 12 oz can of whole kernel corn with juice (no salt added)
500 ml Brown or Amber ale
500 ml chicken or veg stock (no salt added)
3 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp cracked black pepper
Salt to taste
Garnish:
Cilantro
Sour Cream
Green Onion
- Toss meat with olive oil and black pepper.
- In a large stock pot, sauté meat until beginning to brown. Optionally, hot smoke it @ 350 F.
- Add onions, continue to sauté for 3- 4 minutes.
- Add garlic, sauté for another minute or until aromatic.
- Drain any excess oil.
- Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 45 - 60 minutes.
- Adjust consistency with more stock as needed.
- Adjust seasoning as needed.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, green onions and sour cream, Greek yoghurt, or crème fraiche. More options: shredded cheese and cracked nacho chips. Or place nacho chips in bowl and ladle soup over them.
