As with most chili dishes, the spices are the true star of the show and you will want to be sure to use quality blends in this recipe. The Spice House's Tellicherry Pepper aka "black gold" seasoning was once treasured by the Ancient Egyptians and today, it has made its way into kitchens all over. To maximize their rich fruitiness, these extra-large berries are left to ripen longer on the vine. Outside of this dish, the coarse grind is great for dry rubs, salads, and in a grinder on the farmhouse table.
