/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I post this about once a day (or at least every time there's a chili thread): http://whatscookingamerica.net/Soup/TolbertChili.htm

My recipe is slightly different, but it's mostly the same as that one.

I toast and grind my own cumin and dried chiles. I mince onion in a food processor until it's very fine (slightly before it would become a paste) and sweat it out in a hot pan with olive oil. Minced garlic goes in for about half a minute then pureed tomatoes to stop the cooking. Oregano, my spices, salt, and a few grinds of black peppercorns. Broil oxtails or beef bones until they're brown and crispy. Chopped stew beef is added (no searing on the stew beef, that's what the oxtails/bones are for), and then it goes into either a slow cooker on low or a 220 F oven.

That's it man. That's all I do.

I've done chili a dozen different ways, but this is the one I like the best. Hot sauce, queso fresco and homemade saltine crackers at the table.

I do stew beef, ground cumin, chili powder, minced garlic fried in olive oil, pureed tomatoes, and salt. Pic very related.
