Chili Recipes

[brett05]

Here's two recipes for you. The first one is a green chili. I usually win local contests with this green chili. I think that reason is that most red chili's are similar enough that they split the vote and then they have my green chili and I get the "out of the box" vote.

Chili Verde

Ingredients
5lbs Pork Cutlet cubed (can use ground)
2lg White Onions
3lbs Tomatillos chopped
4T Cumin
2T Oregano dried
2T Garlic powder
1T Chili Powder
4-15oz cans White Beans
3-4 Jalepeno peppers diced fine (add more if you like it spicier like I do)
1/4c Oil
8 limes juiced
1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
Salt and Pepper

Directions
In Dutch oven, heat oil til smoking. Salt and Pepper pork, brown.
Remove pork. Add remaining ingredients except cilantro, beans, and lime juice. Lightly salt veggies. Cook about 20 min.
Add pork and beans. Bring to boil, simmer for an hour or more til it's reduced the way you want it, less time more gumbo consistency, longer time more chili consistency
15 min before serving add lime juice and cilantro.

The chili freezes well in gallong zip lock freezer bags and reheats fine to boot.

It will change your life.

Made this on Sunday afternoon and had it last night. It needed more jalepenos but was darn good, especially with the chill.

I still need to try your chile verde recipe.

If you lived around here, I'd drop a bowl off for you.

I will at times add some chicken stock to it, but that is optional.

A friend sent me two dried carolina reapers. I need a good 5-alarm chili recipe that can only use beef for meat. IDK if anyone has anything specific. Otherwise, I already have a few general purpose recipes.

how much do you want to make?

 

[HeHateMe]

Three Large Onions minced
3 Large Poblanos minced
a bulb of garlic minced

Sautee the above in olive oil until it is translucent, add to it a couple of handfuls of chili powder (ground chilis, not the spice mix) and a handful of cumin, and some salt and pepper. Let that come together for a couple of minutes.

Add 5 or 6 lbs of LEAN ground beef and mix it all together to brown it with the seasonings.

3 bags of those assorted dried chilis that you can find in the Mexican food section of most groceries, steep them in boiling water in another pot, puree when rehydrated, add to the ground beef mixture.

Add beef broth to cover. Simmer for a long ass time. Dank as ****.

I usually take a 3rd of the finished project and swazz it up with an immersion blender for making chili dogs.

Here's my basic one Crys.

how much do you want to make?

About 42oz worth. Just the one type of pepper added to the chili peppers though, I want to give it justice before I decide to grow them. I had a decent recipe for the chocolate bhutlah I tried last autumn. But that pepper has a wider range of flavor, so it basically was used for it's pure heat because I added too much to the dish. I want to avoid that with the reapers. I'm thinking a few chopped onions -- caramelized, brown rice, and saffron with wild carrot(queen anne's lace) with a decent chuck cut.

wait, are we still talking about chili?

 

[Crystallas]

Oh yeah. If you slow cook rice, it's a great alternate to thickening the stock. You guys don't have the same picky family I have(sister with celiacs, jewish brother in law, I have and my stepfather has psoriasis). LOL But we all like the heat, as hot-hot peppers are very beneficial to health. Probably have your own version of the picky family. So that's why chili is defined different to different people.

got it, i guess i was just a little thrown by the saffron. have you tried arrowroot for thickening? It's great for sauces AND gravy, no gluten...

 

[Crystallas]

Oh yeah, try it some time. Saffron is awesome in chili.

And I looked up arrowroot. Yes, I've always called it maranta powder. Guess that's a much easier way to remember it. Good to know. Yeah, with the sister, I've tried a lot of gluten free flours, but stray away from some common names, because you see brands that mix a little of this and that to their flours to make a more complete product(which helps sometimes when you're unsure of how to use something, hurts other times when you know exactly how to use it). Like the common grocer arrowroot adds tapioca(also good), but it's not straight up.

This is the recipe I used when I cooked up a batch of chili- some recipe I got off the internet modified to fit the ingredients I happened to have on hand:

-------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 green bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 tbspn garlic, minced
1/4 cup chili powder
1/8 cup ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans with liquid
1 (14.5 ounce) can chili tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can green chile peppers
1 pint water
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon white vinegar

PREP
20 mins
COOK
1 hr
READY IN
1 hr 20 mins

Directions

In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook beef until brown. Drain and return to pot. Stir in garlic, onions, and bell peppers and cook until tender. Stir in the tomato paste, chili tomatoes, chile peppers and kidney beans with their liquid.

Combine the pint of water with the flour in a mix bowl and whisk to combine. Pour into the chili and stir in the vinegar. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.

Simmer about 50 minutes before serving.
--------------------------------------------------------

It was yummy, but next time I make it I will cut the the amounts of Chili Powder and Cumin required in half.

Looking at other people's recipes, I don't know what a tomatillo, poblano or an arrowroot is. I have heard of saffron, but I don't think I have any on hand and don't really know of any other uses for it.

If you get the heat in your eye, look for a lady to lend her the head of hair that she has. Rub the hair thru your eye and the heat will be gone.

There will be no such things around Ares' house lol

Clone right.... Ares lives a very solitary life.

I considered shoving sour cream up my nose, not joking lol

 

[number51]

Some great Chili recipes.

That were then ruined by adding beans. Fucking barbarians.

Honestly I get ya. I got the heat once in my eyes and my wife told me previously about the trick. The hair of my three year old daughter worked like a charm.

OT: So a trick I tried and failed miserably at goes like this. I was slicing veggies on a mandolin for poker night at my new place. I didn't use the guard and proceeded to slice the tip of my thumb off. it clipped a vein so there is quite a bit of blood. I decide to cauterize the wound with a hot butter knife that I heated on the stove. I had no guts and passed on that idea. Then I recalled Kerry Wood cutting his thumb on a pop can and using super glue to hold it all together.

I was working on a plastic resin chair repair the other day using a two part epoxy. So I figured, why not? Well, not only did it not work, but the looks in the ER when I told the story to the nurses made me feel like the dumbest man on the planet. They shot me up with Novocain three times in my thumb prior to cleaning it. For some reason it had no affect on me. They were going to give me a fourth and I said, forget it, just clean it. It hurt, but I didn't care.

When I got back I found two things. The tip of my thumb was not in the salad but on the counter. And I also got my first gray hair at the age of 27.
