Chili MEGATHREAD

[Joe Appleby]

These sound quite doable. Will try to find victims and then proceed to make chili.

You could add some lemon juice to mine I suppose.

[spoiler:l8uelqxr]This is one food that deserves a thread of its own. Over the years I have seen and cooked so many recipes cause i just love chili.


Turkey Chili so high on the scoville scale it can make the sun cry


2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 small green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped
2 pounds lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1/2 cup cheap beer
1/2 cup canned whole kernel corn
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce

Seekrit ingredient: 1 (1 ounce) envelope instant hot chocolate mix

The hot chocolate kills the after heat from the habanero but leaves the awesome spicy flavor.

1) Chop onions, garlic, all your peppers and cook in olive oil till onions are transparent. Insert ground turkey and cook till fully brown. Shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes.

2) Drop in everything else but the kidney beans and corn. I personally don't used canned anything, so if you go the raw route make sure you soak kidney beans the night before or they wont cook right. Drop in all dry powders (paprika, pepper flakes, chili powder, etc...) and all wet sauces (worcestershire, smoke flavoring, diced tomatoes, etc...) mix and slow cook for at least 45 minutes.

3) Drop in corn and kidney beans and mix. Take a quick taste and see if you need to add anything.

Total cook time is a little over 1 hour. After its done you can serve in a bowl and garnish with shredded cheese of your preference (mine is smoked gouda) and just relax and eat a hearty bowl of chili.

This recipe serves 8 people, but this stuff is so good you will have at least 3 bowls of it and will end up making more.

I tried this. Was p amazing.

Will probably try another in this thread later.

Basicly

Low fat beef meat ( 5/10% max)
Yellow oignon ( more sugar )
Red bean ( not the boxed one, the ones)
Poix chiches
Celery
Corn ( you can either use youg whole corn "épis" or wet-corn i dare you using dry )
Peeled Tomatoes or good quality tomato sauce.
Spices on feeling including :

Red pepper, Chilli, Red chilli ( not powder ), Paprika, Salt, Espelette peper sometime clou de girofle ( clove ? ), cardamine and cumin.

Slice your oignon and slowly cook it in a pan with some olive oil.
Once your oignon are browned, add the meat, be carefull to keep it from sticking in big piece. Add peper and salt.

Meanwhile in a big Saucepan put the tomatoes, poix chiches, celery diced in big piece ( i love bigger piece of celery ) and corn, the red peper and espelette peper if you use any and the clove.

Once your meat has slowly browned, put the content of the pan with the vegetable, add aprox 1/3 of the preparation of water ( if you use tomato sauce, you can usualy use the quantity of the bottle ).

Add the paprika, chilli, red pepper and if you like it, cardamine and cumin.


Taste and add salt/peper/any spice if needed.

Then let it cook slowly for 2/3 hour, it is important if you realy want your chilli to have a consistent taste.

Serve with White rice or semolina and a good red whine ( i wouldn't go for chilian one rather a strong bordeau, something too soft wouldn't cover the peper and chilli taste anyway ).

The Weird Stuff Your Country Eats thread reminded me of a chilli con kangaroo I made once. Pretty much the same process as everyone else's, except:

* diced kangaroo meat (the roo mince I can find is really low quality, so I dice up roo steaks),
* jalapeno chillies (I believe these are often sold as "bullet chillies" here in Aus, or at least those are similar enough),
* kidney beans,
* red onion,
* passata,
* red capsicum,
* garlic,
* splash of red wine to deglaze after the initial saute,
* half a bar of finest dark chocolate for that "wtf did you put in this sauce, I can't place it but it's amazing!" reaction,
* paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, coriander etc to taste.

Do everything pretty much the same as Ishkabibble's turkey chilli except saute the onions and roo meats very carefully - high heat, don't overcrowd the pan, don't leave them in there too long. You want to brown the chunks but not cook them, as roo toughens fast. You'll want to simmer everything for a good long while (90 mins or more) to help the meat stew into delicious softness. The times I've tried this the beans fall apart quite a bit, so maybe it would be a good improvement to add the beans quite late as someone else suggested upthread. You might also be able to use some kind of stock, but that's too much :effort: for me. I would also like to experiment with all the different varieties of chilli but they are hard to come by in Australia.

Tres awesome.
