Lamb Chili

This easy to follow Lamb and Red Beans Chili is all time popular Mexican specialty. Spicy lamb with smoky chili flavor is favorite of every one in my house. Originally Lamb Chili is served topped with salsa verde and corn tortilla on side but I prefer it with cilantro lime rice. Try to get good quality 80-20 lamb that works best for Lamb Chili. For chili part of it, I use homemade Ancho Chili paste (called by some Pasilla chiles) but you can use store bought paste too.

To make Ancho Chili paste at home, Soak ancho peppers in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove from water and keep the water for later use. Remove stems and seeds from peppers. Process with little amount of Ancho Chili pepper water to a fine puree. Strain to get rid of hard skin. Mix paste with 1/2 tsp white vinegar and refrigerate for upto 1 week.

Make Chili even more delicious with these Toppings.
