    Title: Second Best Chilli Con Carne In Glasgow
    Categories: Chili, Pork
    Yield: 1 Batch

    700 g Pork ribs (1-1/2 lb)
    700 g Oxtail (1-1/2 lb)
    500 g Chuck steak (1 lb)
    2 Red onions
    1 Garlic head
    Fresh ginger (1-1/2")
    4 Jalapenos
    3 tb Sugar
    2 Rich beef stock pots
    3 pt Water
    2 Cans Guinness
    2 Cans cherry tomatoes
    2 ts Mustard seeds
    1 ts Cumin
    1 ts Coriander
    4 Allspice berries
    Oregano
    Smoked paprika
    Lime juice
    1 Pkg baby sweet peppers
    1 Pkg dried ancho chiles
    1 tb Honey
    1 tb Tomato puree
    1 Cinnamon stick

    This excellent recipe came second in a local competition. It's quite
    involved so it's worth keeping for a special occasion.

    Add the ancho chiles, cinnamon stick, 2 ts paprika, 1 tb sugar, pork
    ribs, Guinness, 1 pint water, a rich beef stock pot, and salt to an
    oven-safe pot with a lid.

    Put in the oven at 200?C (400?F) for 2-1/2 hours until fluid has
    reduced by half and meat is falling off the bone.

    In a pot, put the two onions finely diced with sunflower oil, then
    add the jalapenos cut small. Once soft add the allspice berries
    (crushed) all the garlic and the ginger chopped finely.

    Whilst that is cooking, dry fry the cumin, mustard seeds and
    coriander in a pot for a few minutes to release flavour, then crush
    with a pestle and mortar and add to the pot with about 2 ts paprika
    and the peppers (chopped). Allow to cook for around 10 minutes.

    After 10 minutes add the other Guinness and stock pot, plus 2 pints
    water, the steak, and oxtail. Cover and allow to boil for
    1-1/2 hours.

    After 1-1/2 hours add the two cans of tomatoes and lime juice and let
    boil for a further 1 hour so the meat breaks down, and the oxtail
    meat falls off the bone.

    Remove the bones and the cinnamon stick from the pot in the oven then
    transfer the contents into your pot on the stove. At this point add
    the honey oregano, the remaining sugar, and some lime and tomato
    puree to taste.

    Cover and cook 1 hour more, then uncover and cook for a further 30 to
    45 minutes reducing the fluid and salting as required.
