Hello :)
I have made a chilli for later, and I know that chocolate is supposed to enhance it. Can anyone please tell me what sort of chocolate to use, and is it ok to add it at the end of cooking. Many thanks. Happy Friday!

just a small peice of dark choc and about 10 mins at end of cooking, enjoy i tired it last time i made chilli and it was lush!
I tend to use just one square of good quality dark choc in meaty stews, casserole, chillies, etc. You can get lindt dark chocolate with chilli in it, if you prefer.

I don't really like the taste of dark chocolate, but find it enriches some dishes.

vibes shhhhhhhhh
Now if it's Milka Tendres Moments Milk Choc with hazelnut mousse filling.... I would ensure my trolley is overflowing... purely for medicinal purposes. :-)
Ideally you want cacao, the solid and unsweetened pure cocoa solid. You can get this from quite a few places now, and I know that Hotel Chocolat supply it online.
Otherwise, just try to use a chocolate with as high a cocoa solid content as possible - most supermarkets will only stock 70-80% cocoa solid chocolate, but you may be able to find a higher percentage chocolate at an artisan or health food shop.

Good luck!
try using 1 teaspoon of a quality(70% cocoa bean) cocoa powder, it permeates the meat better for a more tangy chocolate flavour.
I've never added chocolate in savoury dishes but now I think I'm inspired. Just have to think of what sort of vegetable dishes can I cook with chocolate...
