How do you remove sweet taste from chili?

Answer 1

To remove the sweetness from sweet chili, you can add a little red wine vinegar to the dish. Alternatively, you can add a few large potatoes and cook for about an hour. The potatoes will absorb the sweetness and can then be removed with a slotted spoon.

Answer 2

The easiest way is to not let in the sweet taste in the first place. Ready-made American "food" is loaded with sugar - on purpose! Check all your canned and pre-packaged ingredients for sugar. Check the beans you're using. If they're canned, check the label. They probably have sugar in them. Find another brand, or, cook them from scratch. It's not that difficult; it just takes a little [a lot of] time. But if you use home cooked beans, sweetness won't be a problem, and you won't be trying to find ways to get rid of it. Also, if you're using canned tomato sauce, check that label for sugar too. If it has sugar, find another brand that doesn't.

To mask sweetness, you might try a combination of spices and herbs, such as garlic, onion, cumin, salt, lemon juice, cilantro, celery, parsley, etc.
