10 tbsp Red chile,mild,ground
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 tsp Oregano,dried,pref. Mexican
1/2 tsp Cumin

1 1/2 cup Tomatoes,Italian-style

1 can Chiles,green,mild,whole
1 can Jalapeno peppers,pickled
2 tbsp Hot pepper sauce,liquid
1 tbsp Butter
3 Chiles,fresh whole green
1/2 cup Mushrooms
1/2 cup Sauterne
12 oz Beer

Instructions:

1. In a large non-aluminum (preferably glass or glazed cast iron)
bowl make a marinade by combining the burgundy, thyme, bay leaves,
garlic, and black pepper. Place all the beef in the bowl and mix
lightly to coat the meat well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
(If time is short marinate for 2 hours at room temperature.)

2. Place the chicken breasts in a saucepan with enough water to
cover. Add 1 teaspoon salt and simmer over low heat for 1/2 hour.
Remove the chicken reserving the liquid. Chop the chicken breasts
fine and reserve.

3. Meal the oil in a large heavy pot. Add the onions and cook until
they are translucent.

4. Meanwhile, drain the beef, straining and reserving the marinade.
Mix the beef and pork together, then combine the meats with the
ground chile, cayenne pepper, oregano, cumin, rosemary, and the
rest of the salt. Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pot with
the onions. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring
occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned.

5. Add half the marinade, the reserved chicken, tomatoes, both tomato
sauces, jalapenos, and 1 tablespoon of liquid hot pepper sauce to
the pot.

6. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh
chiles, mushrooms, and a small amount of the Sauterne and cook for
3 minutes. Add this to the pot.

7. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for at least
3 hours. When
the chili is cooking, from time to time stir in the remaining
marinade, the remaining Sauterne, and beer. If more liquid is
needed, stir in the water the chicken was cooked in. Taste and
adjust seasonings.
