Directions
Directions:
For the chili, add oil to a Dutch oven over medium heat, then add the beef. Crumble the beef and begin to brown. Once the beef is starting to brown, add the chorizo and onion and allow to cook until the onions are transparent and the beef has browned. Next, add the wine and stir until well incorporated. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, peppers, and seasonings. Stir to combine, place lid on the pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
For the chimichurri sauce, add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until well incorporated.
For the fries, cook according to the package directions. Once cooked, remove from the oven and chop into 1 inch pieces.
To assemble the dish, place chili in bowls, then top with a small handful of fries, a few pieces of fresh mozzarella, and a dollop of chimichurri sauce. Enjoy with Black Box Cabernet wine!
