About

There was a time in my life, whilst I was cooking at Wildes club, when I made chili 5 days a week for several years. I made a lot of changes and found venison makes a good substitute for beef. The lemon juice adds a certain je ne sais quoi, as does the beer.

Ingredients

juice of 1 lemon
2 pounds ground minced venison (about 4

Method

Pour the lemon juice over the ground meat, mix in and let it stand for 30 minutes. Heat the oil and fry the onions and garlic; add the marinated venison and brown well. Season. Add all the other ingredients, stir well, cover and cook slowly for 4 hours. Add more beer if it becomes too dry.
