Snipe Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Re: Chili Cook Off Here is the recipe I used for the cook off.. 3 dried ancho peppers, stemmed and seeded 2 tablespoons dried oregano 2 tablespoons sweet paprika 2 tablespoons whole coriander 1 tablespoon cumin seed 2 tablespoon chili powder 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 onions, fine chopped 3 pounds ground venison or beef Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 6 cloves garlic, fine chopped 1 canned chipotle chile, divined, seeded & fine chopped 1/2 jalapeno pepper, fine chopped 2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, hand crushed 1 teaspoon sugar 2 tablespoons mesa In a small dry skillet over low heat add the ancho peppers, oregano, paprika, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until they begin to smell, about 2 minutes. Put the spices into a spice mill or food processor and grind until they are powdered. Set aside. Heat a large heavy pot over medium heat; add 3 tablespoons olive oil and the onions. Cook until the onions are soft and beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Add it to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until it has browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of the toasted spice mix, the garlic, chipotle, jalapeno, tomatoes, and sugar. Season with salt and stir well. Add some hot water until the meat is just covered with liquid. Return to the boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the mesa and cook for another 10 minutes, uncovered, to thicken.

Snipe Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Re: Chili Cook Off [ QUOTE ] Did you win?? [/ QUOTE ] Nope I believe we made it to the finals table but no further than that...The finals table is the top 25.. The chili that won had more grease on top than a 65' Belaire leaks oil... Apparently grease is in ...Most of the top finishers had a oil slick... Looks like we may make it to the Cowtown Chili Cook Off at Cabelas in Ft. Worth in June...
