Anyway, about this chili... First of all, chorizo is delicious, and you are out your mind if you disagree. Yes, out-your-mind! It really makes for a great addition to a regular bowl of chili by giving it that little something extra. This is a feel-good recipe that's certainly worth a try!
Serves about 6
Ingredients:
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 to 2 lb lean ground turkey or beef
- 0.5 to 1 lb chorizo, cubed
- 2 tbsp cumin- 2 tbsp dry mustard
- 4 tbsp mexican style chili powder
- 1 tbsp mexican oregano
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (or more if you like it hot)
- 2 12oz cans of red kidney beans
- 1 28oz can of tomato puree
- 1 small can of tomato paste
- 1 12oz bottle of beer
- 1 cup chicken stock- Salt
- Olive oil
- Shredded cheese (for topping)
Directions:
Prepare your onion and garlic, then throw them in a pot on medium heat with a little olive oil.
Sweat the onion until it becomes translucent.
Add your meats and cook until there is no more pink left.
Then, stir in your spices. This should significantly darken the chili-base, and it should be smelling really good by now.
Finally, add the beer, chicken stock, tomato puree, tomato paste, kidney beans, and salt to taste.
Bring the pot to a boil, then turn the heat down low and simmer while partially covered for 2 hours, or until the chili is at your preferred state of thickness. As you can see, I like mine chunky.
Serve hot, top with cheese or whatever else you like to put on your chili (sour cream, lime, cilantro), and have a bowl or two... or three... or five. I'm so hungry. *Tear*
Who got to eat this wonderful creation? Since you're cleansing :).
ReplyDeleteStephen and I made a double batch last Sunday for him to have for the week! This would be the third time that I've made it-- once with beef and twice with turkey :)
