=========================================================================== BBS: The GWE BBS [ASV/CIN] Date: 07-20-44 (28 19) Number: 396 From: DR SEA #27 @8400*2 Refer#: NONE To: ALL Recvd: YES Subj: The Official Fusion Chili Conf: (37) Home Cooki --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the recipe that got me barred from ever competeting again in Richmond's International Chili cookoff. This chili is a class "9" chili. Offically there is only 7 recipes that have this rating. This recipe serves 12 brave souls. 15 fresh Bahaimian peppers <---- very important 2 cups red chili beans 3 to 4 pounds ground meat (can be beef, chicken, turkey, shark yes shark..) 3 ounces ginger <--- chinese secret ingredient..... 2 red or yellow bell peppers (they cook well with the chili) Instructions: The chili is cooked in a pressure cooker or a sealable pot...This is important, anyway, in the pressure cooker the meat is steeped with the Bahiamians for the minimum of an hour at a simmer. You will know its ready when you lift the cover and your eyes burn (DON'T RUB YOUR EYES IT WILL GO AWAY) at that point mix in the the other ingredients, oops I forgot mix the chili beans in with the meat when you first start... BTW this can be a vegitarian chili... back to the recipe, the final ingredent can be added after another 30 mins. Take a little lemon (concentrate will work) sqeeze it in. This sets the acid level to about the lowest you can take it. If you would like I can prepare a batch and bring it to one of the gatherings... Dr Sea Uh-oh better break out the HAZ-MAT gear again....
