Now for the food! Yesterday was a cool day, perfect for chili with fresh rosemary garlic buns. Special ingredients include cinnamon and dark chocolate. Top with grated cheese and green onion to make an extra tasty meal!
Chili Recipe:
1 lb ground beef
2 medium - large onions, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
Throw in pot and cook over medium heat until beef is thoroughly cooked.
Add 5 tbls chili powder, 1 tsp each of oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin and coriander Mix into meet mixture and try and let it "toast" a bit. heating the spices before adding more ingredients lets the flavours come out.
Add 1 large can diced plum tomatoes w. liquid, 1 can tomato paste, 4 cans beans (drained) (we like 2 red, 1 white and 1 black) Stir in.
Add 1/8 to 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 2 tblsp beef bouillion and 1 cup water (if too thick, you can add more).
Cook for about 2 hours over very low heat, stirring occasionally.
For extra spice, add in chopped chilis, Habanero peppers (very hot!!) or even chili pepper flakes. You can also add a small dash of cinnamon and dark chocolate to flavour (a tbsp of chocolate chips or a few squares from a dark chocolate bar - add a little at a time!) Also, you can add more spice, sugar, salt to reflect your personal flavour preferences.
Happy cooking!
