Chili Sin Carne

Directions

1. 1
   chop onions in pretty big pieces, heat some olive oil in a big pot and let the onions fry on high heat until they brown a little bit.
2. 2
   in the meantime, remove the core from the peppers and cut them in big chunks.
3. 3
   put them to the onions and fry them together.
4. 4
   half the chili peppers, remove the core, cut halves in stripes and put them into the pot.
5. 5
   put in the soybeans and red lentils and fry everything together for a few minutes.
6. 6
   if everything is well fried and the bottom of the pot beginns to brown, pour in the beer/wine.
7. 7
   let it reduce for about 3min, still on high heat.
8. 8
   reduce the heat to medium and pour in all the cans (no need to strain) and put in all spices.
9. 9
   dissolve the chocolate into the pot and mix thoroughly.
10. 10
    let everything simmer for about 1h with no lid, check regularly to mix well because it tends to scorch - rule of thumb: the longer it sits on the stove > the thicker it gets > the lower the heat should be.
11. 11
    it's done, when the consistency isn't runny anymore.
12. 12
    Serve chili with guacamole, slices of chili peppers and fresh bread (gluten-free when needed).
