Chili

Post by pfleuret »

Seems to me this forum needs a chili thread.

Pork Chili with Rosemary

I make this sometimes for family get togethers. Like yesterday when we were all tired of turkey. 4 lbs pork shoulder, dried or fresh rosemary (enough so the flavor comes through). 4 each dried cascobel, ancho, arbol and california chiles. Mexican oregano, cumin. Mexican bay leaf. Onion, shallot and garlic. 6 corn husks (used for tomales). Remove after 30 minutes for nice mild corn flavor. Finally, some chicken broth and a bottle of Mexican beer. Serve with black beans and rice.

Pat, that sounds interesting. My local Shelby club has a chili cook off every year. Of course ours all must use Carol Shelby chili mix. Last year my wife won making her "race day chili" with brisket. Below is a link to her recipe. I think we will try your recipe sometime soon, sounds good.

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&i ... &disp=safe
Race Day Brisket Chili
Ingredients:
3 – peppers (I used yellow, red, and orange)
1 – small onion, diced
3 – Tablespoons of Minced Garlic
1 – 8 oz jar of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 oz. square unsweetened chocolate
1 pkg. Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit – I did not add the Cayenne packet
1.5 cups – BBQ Sauce
3 – 15 oz cans of tomato sauce
2 – 20 oz pkg of Jack Daniels precooked Brisket, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1.5 pounds of thick sliced bacon, chopped

Directions:
Cooked chopped bacon, once cooked remove from grease
Sauté onions, peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic in bacon grease
Add Carroll Shelby seasoning packet
Add unsweetened chocolate, mix until melted
Add the BBQ sauce and tomato sauce
Add in chopped cooked bacon and chopped brisket
If you want it to be a thicker chili add the thickening packet from the chili kit (I added it)

I cooked it in a Dutch oven and then moved it into a crockpot. It was better after it cooked in the crockpot for about 6 hours on low. The brisket was more tender the longer it cooked.

Synchronicity! Just finished a plate of homemade tamales from my Mex friends :mrgreen:
Looks great, Pat! I'm not a great cook but my wife is :wink:
No homemade leftover chili in the freezer but have chicken and andouille gumbo for this week. I think I finished off the chili last week. :(

I made tamales one time it was a lot of work!

I’m usually a one pot or one frying pan type of cook.

Why I buy mine from my Mex friends. They stuff theirs' with your concoction. Very good.
I'll try your recipe next time we make a batch. Usually use ground round, don't care for grease in my beard!

If you ever get a chance to visit Terlingua, Tx., make the trip and find a Mex café. Like eating on the surface of Mars but a lot hotter.
Brisket sounds great, also! You guys making me hungry. :lol:

I make a mean venison chili but I have no set “recipe”. It is adjusted based on how much I make and I season to taste.

1. 100% pure ground venison (no fat or pork added)
- olive oil
- minced garlic
- salt
- pepper

Brown meat

2. Tomato sauce (generally the large GFS can)
3. Chili seasoning mix packet (used as spice base)
4. Salt
5. Black Pepper
6. Sweet onion (chopped)
7. Cumin
8. Chipotle powder mix
9. Peanut butter (creamy)
10. Dark kidney beans
11. Sugar
12. Italian herb seasoning
13. Sliced jalapeño peppers (sometimes)

Generally put everything in and let it cook for a few hours on low after coming to a boil to build flavors. Then will begin adding spices and peanut butter and sugar as needed to get to taste.

With about an hour to go I will add the beans so they don’t turn to mush.

It’s a real thing. Helps to kill some of the acidity. Try it some time.

Beans in chili is the big debate at our annual chili cookoffs. I can go either way but Carroll Shelby was very vocal that beans do not belong in chili. Since you are local you need to bring your chili to the next years event.

You need all of the mass you can pack into that stuff to survive the cold dark winters up here!

A cup of red wine will do the same thing. Extra points for venison 👍
