“delicious rich chili. I used Negro Modela instead of broth, a whole clove instead of allspice, and a generous tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder. I made Mexican rice using Diana Kennedy's recipe, and rough chopped up an avocado and some lime wedges on the side.” — a cook, 5★
“The recipe says add onion and garlic after the beef cooks, but there is no garlic in the recipe. I guessed and minced up 4 cloves. Onions are listed twice, so I am guessing one of those should be garlic? Simmering now a bit smells delicious” — a cook, 4★
