Ingredients
-
- 2 lbs medium ground beef chuck or shoulder
-
- 1 large onion – diced
-
- 1 stalk celery – diced
-
- 1 carrot – diced
-
- 1 green bell pepper – deseeded and diced
-
- 1 poblano pepper – charred, skin removed, deseeded and diced.
-
- 1 zucchini – diced
-
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms (or favorite variety) – halved
-
- 5-6 cloves garlic – minced
-
- 1 28oz can fire-roasted tomatoes (Muir Glen has an organic variety with BPA-free cans)
-
- 28oz chicken or beef stock (preferably homemade)
-
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
-
- 2 tbsp honey
-
- 1 tsp ground cumin
-
- 1 tsp ground coriander
-
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
- 1 tsp onion powder
-
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
-
- salt and pepper to taste
-
- 1 dried ancho chili
-
- 1 dried pasilla chili
-
- 1 dried cascabel chili
-
- 1 handful fresh parsley – some reserved for garnish
-
- sliced avocado – for garnish
-
- diced tomato – for garnish
-
- diced red onion – for garnish
Instructions
- Add the stock, ancho, pasilla and cascabel chilies to a saucepan and bring everything to a low boil. Reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover with a lid and let steep for 15-20 minutes or until chilies are soft and plump. Set aside and let cool.
- Char all sides of the poblano pepper (either on a gas burner or under the oven broiler), place in a bowl and cover with foil. Once cooled, peel, deseed, dice and set aside.
- Drizzle 1/2 tbsp avocado oil in a large Dutch/French oven and set over med-high heat. Working in batches, brown the ground beef. Try not to overcrowd the pot or the beef will steam rather than brown. Transfer beef to a bowl and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add in the onions, celery, carrot and garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and sauté until translucent, approximately 6-8 minutes. Add the mushrooms, zucchini, poblano, and green pepper and sauté for another 6-8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, deseed and discard the stems of the steeped chilies but reserve the chili-infused stock. In a food processor or blender, blend the chilies and chili-infused water until smooth and creamy. Set aside for the moment.
