Not just easy chili...I worked hard to make it this way. There was a lot involved. It wasn't easy. I had to go to the Tienda to search for the correct dried chile's which they had. I had to tear them apart and seed them and toast them. I had to toast a ton of spices (some of which, like star anise I had never used) and grind them into a powder. I used my mojate. There were a lot of ingredients and every one had to be prepared correctly. The only thing I couldn't find was Marmite.
It was a lot of work. I read the recipe and knew that it would be a challenge. But I could taste it in my mind's taste buds and I couldn't rest until I tried to make it. I started this morning at 10. It took a lot of hands on time but left me enough time free to do other stuff until it turned me loose to do as I chose for several hours as it simmered to perfection.
Just one more hour until it's ready. I've tasted it all along the way and the flavor is overwhelming. I will do as the recipe suggests and chill it overnight to let the flavors blend even more. I made enough to feed an army. It is so very good. I'm glad that I bought more freezer containers.

I couldn't help myself. I's been smelling it all day long. I had to turn it into a meal. I removed one large serving. I tempered the hot/spicy with creme fraiche. It is sure 'nuff good. l need to ladle it into freezer containers. I made it in a cast iron dutch oven. I't can't stay there for long.
