The CookingBites recipe challenge: chocolate

[Morning Glory]

Morning Glory uhhhh, I totally forgot about chocolate in Chili, yum!

Not only in chilli the well known dish, but with chilli in all sorts of other dishes, I think.

Dark chocolate added to beef dishes in general works very well. It adds a rich body to any sauce/gravy.

Yup, I posted a chili recipe with chocolate. Tastes so good the next day. Makes great chili dogs/burgers all the way (chili, mustard, cheese, and raw onion)

I know you prefer savoury dishes. Can I offer inpiration somehow?

The way I look at it is that cacao is in fact, a bean (and a spice in all but name). Dark chocolate adds a depth of flavour and slightly fruit like note to savoury dishes; vegetables, pulses and meat. It works supremely well with chilli (in sweet and savoury).

Thanks..
Been looking at some Mexican dishes and some others.
Just nothing right now that rocks my boat.
Might change again tomorrow though

Quite agree.
Think Mexican, Central America, Venezuela, Perú.
Or West African recipes.

I do have one simple planned, trying to get to it this weekend. MrsT has been having a flare-up of her lifelong gut issues, and the GI doc told her “no chocolate” for now, so that’s gotten in the way of things.

Feel better Mrs T!

Just posting a plate of cooking chocolate with knife and fork is not going to qualify as an entry , isn't it?

You’ve got to at least melt it and eat it like soup.

Pour it over some fruit and call it "Badjak Cocktail".

I have thought of incorporating the chocolate into rudjak...
Fruit, veges in spicy soy sauce....

 

[badjak]

I've since come up with an idea.
Now it's just the execution...
