Today, for once, we don't have a sweet recipe for you. But chocolate also cuts an extremely fine figure in this hearty chilli sin carne. The colour, consistency and, of course, the taste benefit greatly from a good amount of fine dark chocolate with a strong 85% cocoa content. Other special ingredients such as espresso and wine round off this dish, which can be spiced up as desired. Just give it a try and enjoy chocolate savoury (umami).

01
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Peel and finely dice the carrots and parsnip. Finely dice the fennel too.
02
Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Sweat the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the vegetables and sweat for a few minutes until light brown.
03
Add the maple syrup, salt, pepper, paprika powder, chilli flakes and tomato paste and fry briefly. Deglaze with the vegetable stock, red wine and tomato pulp, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
04
Now add the beans and simmer gently for a further 15 minutes.
05
Break the chocolate into pieces and add together with the espresso and balsamic vinegar. Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring well from time to time.
06
Flavour again with salt and pepper. Serve the chilli hot, sprinkled with coarsely chopped peanuts and fresh herbs of your choice.
Tip: The bean chilli goes well with basmati rice, flatbread or a polenta porridge.
