List of Ingredients
3 pounds beef -- ground or cubed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 quart water
2 bay leaves
8 dry chilie pods *or*
6 tablespoons chili powder
3 teaspoons salt
10 garlic cloves -- chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper -- fresh
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cocoa (optional)
3 tablespoons flour
6 tablespoons cornmeal Recipe
In a six-quart pot, sear meat in hot olive oil, stirring constantly over
high heat until grey, but not brown. Add water and mix well. Add bay
leaves now, but remove and discard after 15 minutes of cooking. Simmer
covered 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add remaining
ingredients, except for flour and cornmeal. Cocoa should be added now.
Simmer, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes. Skim off any excess fat.
Adjust seasonings and add flour and cornmeal blended with a little cold
water to make a paste. Cook, stirring constantly to prevent sticking,
until chili is the desired consistency.
