Just caus I felt like sharing it I can't eat really hot stuff anymore -it actually burns my lips --- soooooo Here is...
Anns Gringo No-Bean Chili Con Carne (Makes enough for 2 just double up the stuff if you want to make more.) 2 Anaheim peppers with core , seeds and veins removed. 1 pound lean ground beef, browned lightly in oil. 1 can Del Monte stewed tomatoes, original recipe 1 cup v-8 juice or tomato juice 1 tablespoon dried (Mexican) Oregano 1 teaspoon ground Cumin Cilantro if you like it a small sprig or two of fresh or ½ tespoon dried. a few dashes of fresh ground black pepper 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 clove garlic 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon paprika Sprinkle the beef with the oregano and cumin while you are browning it stirring all the time till the meat in little pieces that is only lightly browned. Cook the Anaheims in a bit of water in the pot you are going to use for the chile. I dont mind the skins, but if you do, let the peppers cool and peel off the outer layer and then chop& I just leave it on and chop the peppers. South-westerner purists might scoff. If you are going to peel the skin it will take about 15 minutes to get the chilis tender and they should sit in the pan until cool before you do it. Drain off most of the water you cooked the peppers in, add the meat and all the other ingredients bring t a boil then simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes. If you are not going to serve it right away, let it cool for about 30 minutes on the stove, covered, then refrigerate it. I like it best after it has been stashed in the fridge for a day or so. Notice, I did not mention adding salt there is plenty in the can of tomatoes and the V-8 or tomato juice you use. Anaheim peppers are the mildest of the hot peppers but have a lovely taste if you really insist on fiery chili, just add a New Mexican red chile to the mix or chili powder to get up the heat. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and/or grated Monterey Jack, if you like. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
