I Want Your Chili


Recommended Posts

You inspired me to make some chili last night.

 

As I said earlier, I never measure, but I can give you approximates:

1 LARGE YELLOW ONION, chopped

3 cloves of GARLIC, chopped

-saute above in about 2 tsp. of vegetable oil, until onions are translucent.

-add

1.5 lbs. (approx.) GROUND BEEF

Seasoned with SALT, PEPPER, GARLIC POWDER, and ONION POWDER (all to taste)

-cook over medium/high heat until mostly done

Add 3 cans of DICED TOMOTOES and 1.5 medium (or 1 large) FRESH TOMATOES

Simmer for a few minutes, then add

2 cans of RED KIDNEY BEANS (drained)

Season with:

GARLIC POWDER

ONION POWDER

CHILI POWDER

SALT

PEPPER

dash of CUMIN

dash of SUGAR

(may also add CINNAMON, CLOVE, and COCOA POWDER if you live in Cincinatti)

and about 2 Tbsp. of THE PICKLING LIQUID FROM A JAR OF JALEPENOS (whatever spice level you prefer)

 

Simmer for 2 hours over low heat. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.

Top with Sour cream and shredded cheese.

Serve bread on the side.

 

 

(I hope that I didn't forget anything.)

My bad....

 

Anyone have a recipe for caucasian chili?

It sounds akin to something they have in New Mexico - green chile stew. That dish is made with potatoes and pork. This sounds about right.

 

Serves 8

 

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin or pork butt, cut in 1-inch cubes

1 1/2 cups diced onion

1 tablespoon minced garlic

6 cups chicken or beef broth

1 pound red or white potatoes, cut in 1/2 to 3/4-inch cubes

2 to 3 teaspoons salt, to taste

3 cups roasted, peeled, chopped green chile or to taste

3 tablespoons diced red bell pepper

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, to taste

 

 

Heat the oil in a 6-quart pot over high heat and brown the meat in

batches. Set aside. In the same oil, saute the onions until golden.

Add the garlic and saute 1 minute. Return the meat to the pan along

with any juices that may have accumulated. Add the broth, potatoes,

salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for one hour, un-

til the potatoes are tender. Add the green chile and the red bell

pepper, and cook 15 to 20 minutes more. Add the cilantro, stir and serve.

 

Side Bar: At the school we use locally grown green chile when making

the stew. It is roasted over a fire or gas flame, peeled and chopped.

When the chile is not in season, we use roasted, peeled, chopped, frozen

green chile. You could also use freeze-dried green chile in place of the fresh.

A combination of mild and hot chiles produce a more balanced flavor.
