Spicy Party Chili with Scotch Bonnets & Tequila
Simply Stews
- Susan Wyler

Return to Top

bullet2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
bullet3 medium onions, chopped
bullet1/4 cup vegetable oil
bullet4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
bullet2 Scotch Bonnet peppers (or habanero), seeded, minced fine
bullet1 1/2 tablespoons cumin seeds
bullet2/3 cup pure mild chili powder
bullet3 pounds coarsely ground beef
bullet2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably Mexican
bullet1 1/2 teaspoons salt
bullet1 can crushed tomatoes in heavy juice, (28 oz)
bullet4 cups beef stock
bullet1/2 teaspoon cayenne
bullet1 bay leaf
bullet2 15-oz cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
bullet2/3 cup tequila
Trim any external fat from the pork and cut the meat into roughly 3/8-inch dice.

In a large pot, cook the onions in the oil over moderate heat, covered, for 3 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden, about 5 minutes longer. Add the garlic, Scotch bonnet peppers, and cumin seeds and cook, stirring often, until the seeds are lightly browned and toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minutes.

Add the ground beef, diced pork, oregano, and salt. Cook, stirring often, until the meats are no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, stock, cayenne, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to moderately low, and simmer, partially covered, 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaf.

Add the beans, crushing some of them against the side of the pot with a large spoon to help thicken the sauce. Add the tequila and season with additional salt and cayenne to taste. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Good or better when reheated and freezes well for up to 3 months, though it may need an extra dash of cayenne before serving.

Stretch by serving over rice, and serve with garnishes such as chopped sweet onion or scallions, shredded Cheddar cheese, pickled jalapenos, sour cream, and tortilla chips.
Serves 12.

DickO's Cool Hot Stuff

Return to Top

"some" means equal parts of each, more or less, or whatever. generously sent in by: jr@happy.net

some fresh orange Habanero
some raisins and/or currants
some fresh cilantro
some toasted sesame oil
some cider vinegar
some black peppercorns
some whole coriander pods

Chop everything up into itty bitty bits (except the oil and vinegar--duh). Then mix it all up in a glass jar of size X, where X is equal to or greater than the amount of stuff your have. Let it sit in your fridge until you have forgotten what it is. Then sprinkle it as a condiment on whatever you're eating... rice, bread, chips, curry, dead animal flesh, or whatever. Then and only then will you live a happy and prosperous life from that moment onward.

Oh Dear, It's Chili Beer

Return to Top

What more can be said about this one. It's for all you brewers (and future brewers!) out there who are into beer and peppers. Quite tasty and excellent with spicy foods.

10 pounds Klages Malt
1 pound crystal malt
1.5 ounces Kent Goldings (in boil)
1/2 ounce Kent Goldings (finishing hops)
3/4 pound jalapeño peppers (seeded)
1 tsp. Irish Moss (final 10-15 minutes)
Wyeast European Ale Yeast
3/4 cup priming sugar (or other malt/primer)

Do standard step mash with a 60 minute boil. Steam peppers for 20 minutes or so to sanitize them. Add peppers to primary fermenter for duration of fermentation (rack within 2 weeks or so).

Lip Buzzin' Hab Sauce

10 Habanero's
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 tsp pickling salt
1/2 tsp sugar
|
In a small nonreactive saucepan (I used Visions by Corning ware), boil the chilies and garlic in the vinegar until tender. Place in a blender with the salt and sugar and puree. Run through a metal sieve if necessary. Dilute this paste with more vinegar until it is the consistency of rich cream. Pour into a nonreactive saucepan, bring to a boil, then pour into a hot, sterilized bottle to within 1/2 inch of the rim and run a sterilized knife around the inside of the bottle to release air bubbles. Wipe the rim clean and seal with a scalded top. Hot water process for 12 minutes. Store in the refrigerator after opening.
