Mince the bacon and cook it until it begins to crisp. Add the onions and garlic and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add all the spices and the ground Poblanos and cook another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice and the beer. Simmer for half an hour. In another pan, cook the beef until the pink color disappears. Drain and add it to tomatoe mixture. When the beans are fully cooked, drain them, reserving the liquid, and add the beans to the meat/tomato mixture. Salt to taste and let the mixture simmer for about 1 hour. If it is too dry, add some of the bean liquid. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: wilkins@scubed.com (Darin Wilkins) Source: Sunset magazine, January 1993 BLACK BEAN CHILI WITH ORANGES ============================= (serves 6-7) Ingredients + Instructions: --------------------------- In a 5- to 6-quart pan (with lid), combine: 2 large (about 1 pound, total) onions, chopped 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced 1 tblsp salad oil.

Remove the peel and white membrane from the remaining fruit. Thinly slice fruit crosswise. Remove any seeds. After the beans become tender, raise heat to high, uncover, and boil until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10 - 15 minutes. (Reduce the heat and stir occasionally as mixture thickens.) Remove beans from heat and stir in: ----------------------------------- 1 tsp zest the 1/2 C juice. Ladle beans into serving bowls. Place the sliced fruit equally on top of the beans in each bowl.

Saute them in olive oil until the onions are browned. Throw in the Beef and continue cooking until the beef is browned. When done, throw the mixture along with all of the other ingredients, into a crock pot or stewing pot. In the crock pot cook for 6 to 10 hours. In the stew pot cook covered for about an hour and a half. If more liquid is needed I like to add beer, but red wine is great too. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: especkma@reed.edu (Erik. A Speckman) CHILI ===== Ingredients: ------------ bay leaf 2-3 cups soaked beans (black or red) 4 tsp cumin 4 tsp oregano 4 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp cayenne ground "New Mexico" chili powder (however much looks good, few tsp.?) Gebhardt's chili powder (however much looks good, few tsp.?) 1 chili negro or ancho peanut oil 2 large onions, chopped 4-6 cloves garlic, minced salt ca. 4 cups tomatoes, chopped (fresh/peeled or canned) 1-2 tsp chopped chipotle chili 1/4 cup red wine 1-2 Tblsp vinegar (wine, cider, rice) Instructions: ------------- Cover beans and bay leaf with 2 inches of fresh water, bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer. Toast cumin and oregano over med. heat, stirring so they don't burn. When they're fragrant, add paprika, cayenne, and chili powders--toast a few seconds. Remove from heat. Then grind with mortar and pestle. Dry the chili negro or ancho in a hot oven (400) for a few minutes. Cool and remove stem, seeds, veins. Shred it and then grind in food processor, blender, etc. Saute onion in oil till soft, add garlic, salt, ground herbs and chili, cook 5 min. Add tomato, juice, 1 tsp. chipotle, and some red wine, cook about 20 min. Add to the beans and add more water to cover beans by 1 inch. Cook till beans are soft (1 hr.) Taste chili, add vinegar to taste. Adjust seasoning (cumin, oregano, salt, chili powder, chipotle, vinegar.) If you can wait, it's best to serve it a day later. Very good with cornbread. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: mvp@netcom.com (Mike Van Pelt) CHILI ===== Ingredients: ------------ 3 cups dried beans, 1/2 pinto, 1/2 black beans 1 can S&W salsa 1 bulb garlic (6-8 cloves for the garlic-tolerance-impaired) 1/3 cup chili powder (I used 1/2 cup, it was maybe a bit much.) 1 tblsp cumin 1.5 lb ground beef ("chili grind", or braising tips cut into 1/4" cubes.) 1/4 tsp oregano 3 Chipotle peppers (or 4 or 5...) 1 large onion. Instructions: ------------- Soak the beans overnight. Brown the ground beef, and drain off the fat. If the chipotles are dried, soak them for 5 minutes in hot water, then pulverize them with the onion and garlic in a blender. Add onion, oregano, chili powder, cumin, beef, garlic, and beans to crock pot, with "enough" water. Let simmer for about 12 hours. About an hour before it's done, add the can of salsa. The "chili powder" is bulk powdered "chili powder" chilies, New Mexico chilies, I think. NOT the mixture with all kinds of other spices in it that is more common in grocery stores. I like my chili heavier on the chili powder, lighter on the tomatoes. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: sstempie@sol.cs.wmich.edu (Sandy Stempien) CHILI ===== (Serves 4) Ingredients: ------------ 1 small can tomatoe paste 3 (15 oz.) cans tomatoe sauce 1 large can stewed tomatoes 1 green pepper (diced) 1 onion (diced) 3 jalepeno peppers (diced) 1 lb ground beef or sliced steak 2 tsp chilli powder(approximate) chayenne pepper (to taste) 1 can kidney or red beans Instructions: ------------- Brown beef, peppers, and onion. Drain off any grease. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Add the beans last. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to VERY low. cook with the lid off an Hour. Then cook 1 hour with the lid on. Cook on VERY low! For a milder chilli take out the cheyenne pepper and the jalopenos. Its best with grated chedder cheese on top and corn bread on the side! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: connally@vms.cis.pitt.edu (Kate Connally) CINCINNATI CHILI ================ Ingredients: ------------ 1 qt beef broth 2 lb ground beef 1/4 cup onion flakes 4 tblsp chili powder 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground cumin 3/4 tsp instant minced onions 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ground allspice 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1/16 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne) 1 bay leaf 15 oz can tomato sauce 2 tblsp cider or white vinegar 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate Instructions: ------------- Boil beef broth in a 4-qt. saucepan.

Reduce heat, simmer, covered, 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate overnight. Skim off fat and reheat. Serves 6. I don't know about you but I think the first one sounds so much better that the second one. That's why I never tried the second one. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: talmy@rand.org (Shel Talmy) C.V.

Stir occasionally. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: sfisher@megatest.com (Scott Fisher) GREEN-CHILE STEW ================ Ingredients: ------------ 6 - 8 fresh long green chiles, roasted, peeled, seeds removed and cut into coarse chunks (note 1) 1 medium onion, chopped fine 3 to 5 cloves of garlic, minced 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp cumin 1 lb lean pork, cut into 1" cubes Juice of 1/2 lime Up to 1-1/2 cups chicken stock Salt, black pepper, and hot green chiles to taste (see note 2) 1 tblsp olive oil Instructions: ------------- Heat Dutch oven or medium saucepan over high. Saute onion, garlic, oregano and cumin until onion is clear. Add green chiles, saute and stir. Add pork cubes and stir to seize all sides of the pork; add lime juice and mix. Now add chicken stock, stopping when most of the pork cubes are covered with liquid. Stir well, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and set the timer for 30 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure the stuff isn't scorching on the bottom. When the timer goes off, check the consistency and either add more stock if it's gotten thicker/drier than you like it, or raise the heat and cook uncovered to thicken if it's too runny. Add salt and black pepper now. Serve with fresh corn tortillas, a pepper-garlic-onion garnish I'll describe shortly, and lots of cold beer, horchata, or jamaica. You can also serve this with sour cream, which is nice. Garnish: -------- I've taken to chopping up fresh chiles to make my own food hotter, since the kids max out at Anaheim chiles. My base mild mix is to cut up an ancho or poblano chile (the dark green glossy ones, triangular and medium-pungent) into 1/4" dice, as well as about a quarter of an onion and a clove of garlic. Add a little olive oil and some dried oregano, stir well and salt to taste. Sprinkle this on the chile verde, roll it up in your tortillas, use it in omelettes or even on Texas-style chili. Notes: ------ 1. Long green chiles: if you can't find them fresh, you can use canned but the taste will be slightly different; the canned variety add lots of citric acid as a preservative. You might want to cut down on the lime in that event. I used fresh Anaheim chiles from my garden last year, and will do so again this year as the Anaheim is producing earliest (four chiles!) but I'm anxious for my New Mexico varieties to get going. The original poster is in the center of the universe for this stuff, though, and frankly you'd probably get better recipes asking your co-workers, fellow students, or the janitorial staff there than the net; if you do, please post it! :-) 2. Hot chiles: The Anaheims are pretty mild. Some people like to add jalapenos to this, but I preferred the serranos when we had the pepper garden last year. I liked six Anaheims and six serranos when it was just for me and Kim, but the girls wouldn't touch it, which is why I started making the garnish. You can also garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or epazote if you can find it; we're growing that and I love it so far, it's like a cross between cilantro and sorrel in flavor. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: garhow@hpubmaa.esr.hp.com (Garry Howard) GREEN CHILI - TRIPLE HHH (HOWARD'S HOTTER'N HELL) ================================================= (Servings: 10) Ingredients: ------------ 1 tblsp Oil 2 lb Chicken breasts boneless - or Pork Shoulder Roast 2 Onions 2 tsp Minced garlic 1 tsp Oregano 1 tsp Cumin powder 2 tsp Ground red chili 1 tblsp Red chili flakes 1 Tomato 1 can Tomatillos 4 lb Green chilis 4 cup Wyler's chicken boullion 3 tblsp Cornstarch Instructions: ------------- Preferably use fresh roasted, peeled, and seeded New Mexican green chilis. Since these are not available in most parts of the country outside the Southwest, dried, frozen, or canned chilis may be substituted, in that order of desirability. Dried chilis are the next best thing to fresh. Frozen new mexican chilis under the brand name "Bueno" are available in some parts of the country and are good quality. Canned chilis are the least desirable but can be used if you are desperate. If possible use a mixture of canned and fresh or dried. Dried green chilis, and a large assortment of other dried chilis, spices, and Mexican food ingredients are available through mail order from Old Southwest Trading Company, P.O. Box 7545, Albuquerque, NM 87194. Call 1-800-748-2861 for a catalog. In August and September they will ship fresh green chili. Cut chicken breasts into 1/2" cubes. Slice onions lengthwise. Chop chilis, tomato and tomatillos. Add oil to heavy, preferably cast iron, skillet and brown chicken over high heat. It is best to do it in two or three small batches. Remove to large saucepan. Add onions and garlic to leftover oil and brown until onions are soft. Add oregano, cumin, and red chili, and cook for two or three minutes. Transfer from skillet to saucepan with chicken. Add tomato, tomatillos, chilis, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 - 4 hours. Add water as necessary to maintain the desired consistency. Add 3 - 4 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with water prior to serving to thicken as desired. Eat from a bowl accompanied with a warm flour tortilla or use it as a sauce over chili rellenos, eggs, enchiladas, or just about anything. One of my favorite meals is to grill a steak until nice and juicy, smother with green chili, sprinkle some grated cheese on top and serve with Mexican rice. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: talmy@rand.org (Shel Talmy) JAY PENNINGTON'S JUST PLAIN GOOD CHILI ====================================== (Serves 16) Ingredients: ------------ oil 3 medium onions, finely chopped 2 medium green peppers, finely chopped 3 stalks celery, finely chopped 8 lbs coarsely ground beef 1 can (6oz) tomato paste 2 can (1lb-13oz) cans stewed tomatoes 2 can (1lb) tomato sauce 1 can (7oz) chile salsa 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 jar (3oz) chili powder 1 medium jalapeno chili, seeded and chopped 2 tblsp salt Oregano garlic salt coarsely ground pepper Instructions: ------------- Thinly cover bottom of heavy 2 gal pot with oil.

Contributed by Dave Zurschmeide Cooks Online JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT BEEF, PORK, SAUSAGE CHILI ============================================= (Serves 20) 3 tblsp Oil rendered from suet (or bacon drippings) 3 lbs Ground beef, the leanest, chili grind 2 lbs Round steak, extra lean (or flank steak), cubed 1 lb Pork shoulder, extra lean, chili grind or cubed 1 lb Linguica or andouille sausage, chopped fine 3 Purple onions, large, chopped small 3 Walla Walla Sweet Onions, or other sweet onion 6 Garlic cloves, finely minced 2 cup Green Chiles, chopped (Ortega or other good brand) 2 Green peppers, chopped small 2 Red peppers, chopped small 2 Celery ribs, minced 1/4 cup parsley, minced 8 tblsp Chili powder (GebhardtUs or other good brand) 2 tblsp Cumin, ground 2 tblsp Spanish sweet paprika 2 tblsp Oregano, dried (preferably the Greek variety) 4 Red peppers, dried (or 2 tblsp crushed) 2 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground 1 tsp MSG (Accent) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Coriander (crushed or ground) 2 tblsp Maggi Seasoning 1/4 cup Tiger Sauce 16 oz Beef broth 2 cup Tomato sauce (15 oz. Each) 1 cup Tomato paste (12 oz) 1 cup Italian plum tomatoes, whole, diced 2 tblsp Masa Harina (or flour) 1 lb Black beans (optional), soaked overnight 1 Beer from a good microbrewery like Ballard Bitters Walla Walla sweets, diced, for garnish Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, for garnish Instructions: ------------- Wash beans carefully and soak in enough salted water overnight to cover them by 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil and simmer the next day until tender (usually 2-3 hours). In the meantime, heat 2 tblsp of oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add garlic, onions, bell peppers, and celery. Cook until the onions are clear. Remove and reserve. Mix ground meats. Add 1 T. Oil to skillet and saute meat, cooking on high heat until thoroughly browned. Drain fat. Remove ground meat and reserve. Brown cubed meat, drain, and reserve. Place reserved vegetables and meats in chili pot along with linguica (or Andouille). Add all remaining vegetables, spices and liquids (except the beer, Masa Harina, or beans), a little at a time, stirring and mixing thoroughly between additions. Carefully bring temperature up to a simmer. Cook covered on very low heat approximately 5 hours. Adjust the consistency after 3 hours. If too thin, uncover and reduce by turning up heat (carefully) slightly. If it is still not the desired consistency, add masa harina (or flour) to thicken, beer to thin, as needed. Taste and adjust for spices carefully (the flavor will develop as the chili cooks). It should be hot enough to be memorable, but not so hot it takes the skin off the roof of your mouth. ItUs better to sneak up on hot. You canUt take it out. If it cries out to be hotter, add just enough Louisiana hot sauce. Finally, and only if you absolutely must, add the beans. A chili purist would jettison them without a second thought. If you canUt bring yourself to do it, but want to serve the chili beanless as God intended, serve the beans on the side and let people indulge their own leguminous perversions. Serve topped with chopped Walla Walla sweets, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and a pinch of parsley. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: talmy@rand.org (Shel Talmy) KATHY HIRDLER'S FIRE CAMP CHILI =============================== (Serves 1200 approximately) Ingredients: ------------ 100 lb pinto beans 48 large onions, chopped 4 cup jalapeno chilies with juice 40 lb meat (ham, sausage, pork, bacon ends, ground beef, etc) 4 cup chili powder salt to taste Instructions: ------------- Soak beans overnight, then raise to a boil on high heat.

Chili is best when allowed to age overnight in refrigerator and reheated. To construct the plate of 5-way chili, layer spaghetti on a plate (a small oval plate is traditional), top it with hot chili, then with a sparse layer of beans, then chopped onions. Pat on plenty of cheese while chili is still hot and serve immediately, with oyster crackers on the side. Serves 4. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: Sandy Kaplan (made meatless by Richard Darsie) SANDY'S CHILI ============= Ingredients: ------------ 1/3 cup oil 3 medium onions, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 jalapeno pepper, minced 2 lbs. tofu chunks 2 tblsp each ground red chilis, cumin, oregano 1 bay leaf 2 cups water 2 28 oz. cans tomatos 6 oz. can tomato paste 2 cans kidney beans salt to taste Instructions: ------------- Saute first five ingredients in oil until limp. Add tofu and saute until browned. Mix the spices together in a bowl and sprinkle into the pot. Mix thoroughly. Add water, tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. If desired, at this point, add the kidney beans. Taste and correct seasoning. The addition of 1 tsp to 1 tblsp of cayenne pepper can make this gradually more spicy. As the recipe reads, itUs fairly tame. NOTE: The ground chilis are NOT chili powder. Most chili powder is made up of a combination of chilis, oregano, cumin, salt and garlic. If chili powder is all you can find, then you will have to readjust the cumin and oregano amounts. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva) TEN CHILE CHILI =============== (Tho I can only count nine) Ingredients: ------------ 1/3 cup cumin seeds 2 tblsp coriander seeds 2 ancho chiles 2 mulato chiles 4 pasilla chiles 6 lb trimmed beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2 by 1/4 inch strips 1/2 lb thickly sliced lean bacon, cut crosswise into thin matchsticks 3/4 lb ham, finely diced 1 1/2 tblsp corn oil 3 lb large yellow Spanish onions, finely diced 3/4 cup diced celery 1 cup ground ancho chile powder 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 5 bay leaves 1 pequin chile (optional) 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced 3 serrano peppers, seeded and minced 1/2 can (3 1/2 ounces) chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, coarsely chopped 1 smoked ham hock 2 cans (24 ounces each) Italian peeled tomatoes, drained 1/2 cup golden tequila 2 cups beef stock 1/2 tsp rosemary 1 tsp crumbled sage 1 tsp oregano Instructions: ------------- Preheat the oven to 500F.

Do not use canned chiles for this recipe. (They just don't taste like green chiles to me.) Amounts are approximate. I usually just dump ingredients, esp. chile and garlic, until it looks "right". This is a very forgiving recipe and very basic. I so much appreciate the taste of fresh, unadulterated green chile and garlic, that I rarely add any other seasonings. Ingredients: ------------ 1 onion chopped 3-4 garlic cloves, smashed or chopped (I use more!!) 1 Tbsp olive oil 6 cups vegetable stock or vegetable bouillon ~12 roasted, peeled, chopped green chile (adjust according to heat of the chile) 2 Tbsp flour or cornstarch salt & pepper to taste Procedure: ---------- Saute onion, garlic in olive oil. Add chile, stock. Add salt and pepper. Dissolve flour or cornstarch in a cup of hot water and add, stirring to prevent lumps. Simmer for 45 minutes. Optional ingredients: --------------------- 1-2 potatos diced (1/2" or so) 1-2 chopped tomatos 1-2 whatever else cilantro, cumin, oregano Add with the chile and stock. Potatos help thicken the chile, especially after it has been frozen since they tend to disintegrate in the freezer. Add the cilantro after it has simmered to retain the fresh cilantro flavor. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: rush@eggneb.astro.ucla.edu (Brian Rush) Source: 7/20/93 issue of women's day magazine. ZESTY CHILI =========== Ingredients: ------------ 1 lb carrots 1 lb zucchini 1 lb onions 1/4 cup vegetable oil 3 lb ground turkey (or beef) 1 tblsp minced garlic 4 28-oz cans crushed tomatoes 1 15-oz can of tomato sauce 2 tsp salt Instructions: ------------- Chop carrots, zucchini and onions in the food processor. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a 6 quart pot. Add vegetables. Cook over medium-high heat 15-20 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times until almost tender. Put 3 lbs. ground turkey (or beef) and 1 tbsp. minced garlic in a 8 quart pot. Cook, breaking up meat, until it is no longer pink. Stir in the vegetables, four 28-oz. cans crushed tomatoes in puree (drain some of the juice or it might be too watery), a 15 oz. can of tomato sauce and 2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes for flavors to develop. You will have about 22 cups of meat sauce. You can use the sauce as is for spaghetti sauce or freeze some for future chili. (or you can decrease proportions and make less to begin with). With 7 cups of the meat sauce, add 38-oz. of kidney beans and 2 or more tablespoons chili powder. Top with shredded cheese and onions. Refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze up to 4 months. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
