re: #42 The Vicious Babushka

Where can I find a good (kosher) chili recipe?

This is how I make chili.

Ground beef (or cubed beef, whichever is preferred)
Onions
Celery
Red peppers
Poblano peppers (not spicy at all)
Minced Garlic
(sometimes carrots)
Beans optional (I use three kinds; chickpeas, black and kidney)
1 can tomato sauce
1 can water (use tomato sauce can)
Chili powder, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder,
- depending on size might be:
4tb chili powder, 1 tsp oregano, 3 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder

Brown meat in a soup pot and remove. Keep some fat in the bottom of pan. Saute onions, celery, peppers (and carrots if used) about 5 minutes. Add garlic to saute for last minute. Add back meat, add tomato sauce, water and spices. Taste, and season accordingly (use salt and pepper as desired) Stir and simmer for about 2 hours. Stir while it simmers to get good commingling of spices and meat/veg. Add in beans and simmer for another 30 minutes. Stir again before serving.

If time allows, cook ahead, let cool, and reheat to serve. This allows the spices to really permeate everything and the flavors to really blend.
