Quoted: Quoted: To be clear. I usually put beans in my chili. But I wanted this one to be about the peppers. And I knew I could not win here. I’d get crucified by the beans or the no beans side. So here we are. You made Chili con Carne. If your chili isn't with meat then it isn't really chili at all, is it? |

Only problem with these off-the-cuff recipes is you'll never, ever be able to get the exact mix to replicate it again.

Quoted: Only problem with these off-the-cuff recipes is you'll never, ever be able to get the exact mix to replicate it again. View Quote even if you match it gram for gram it wouldn't be the same. The peppers will never taste exactly the same between growing variations aging toasting etc same with the meat. As long as you remember the types of chilis you can get the profile very close. Luckily op has a photo of the ingredients in this very thread. |

That looks great....I have learned over the years, you make the chili for you, not what some others think it should be.
I have been using Wick Fowlers 2 Alarm mix for years and my family gobbles it up. If you really want to piss off the purist, I add Blue Runner kidney beans to my chili and when I do, it goes even faster. I cooked this for the guys at work when I was still working and they would fight each other to get more out of the pot. Then put some over rice, yes heads explode over this, chili over rice is fantastic ETA: What is my secret ingredient for my chili, you guessed it, Rotel tomatoes....damn straight... YOU DO YOU |

Peppers get rehydrated then go into the blender until fine enough to push through a fine strainer. It won’t be terrible if you use a blender.

Even my abuelita who lives in a podunk town in Mexico grinds her chiles in a Vitamix. But if you enjoy the manual labor of grinding chiles by hand, get a "metate". It'll grind faster and better. |

Quoted: I make a decent pork chile colorado 1. Cut up a couple pork shoulders into small cubes. 86 the connective tissue 2. Season w salt, pepper, cumin. 3. Sear in small batches 4. Sweat some sliced onion in the pan you seared the pork in. Make sure to get all the yummy brown bits 5. Add some whole garlic cloves until soft 6. Transfer the onions, garlic, and the chiles you hydrated in hot chicken stock for about an hour to a blender. 7. Purée in batches until you have the sauce 8. Add the sauce and the pork to a coverable pot (I like to use an enameled cast iron one) 9. Cook at low temp for a couple/few hours until pork is tender Serve on tortillas with some cilantro, crema, and whatever else you’d like. (just try to not gringo it up please) View Quote OP had my curiosity, but this has my attention. I’ll be trying that Redfish. Gracias. |

The best thing about chili is that I have no recipe. It comes out different every time.
Sometimes it's incredible. Sometimes it's not. But every time is good. I see what I have.....and start dumping. |

Quoted: Arbols aren't hot. View Quote In the world of peppers no they aren't particularly hot. As the primary or maybe secondary ingredient to beef in a dish its too much for most people especially when i am too lazy to seed them. Just as a reference for the folks that aren't masochists a jalepeno has a scoville around 3000. An arbol being substantially smaller like a 10th the size rate 15000 to 30000. So you know using 10x the peppers that are 10x hotter is a little spicy. I wouldn't sit and eat a bowl of jalepenos either. I sort of like my poop to not burn. At some point i just dont understand going hotter. It already just tastes like burning, what are you trying to accomplish? |

I just got done tearing up a pot of damn near identical chili I made tonight.
try toasting your dried peppers on a griddle for a few minutes next time before soaking. Not too long, or they get bitter, just 2 minutes on each side or so. It really brings out the flavor in them. |

So here we are. View Quote Chili should always be about the peppers, hence the name. What’s offensive about most of the bean crowd isn’t their use of beans—it’s their lack of peppers. They think a tablespoon of chili powder and a sprinkle of cumin makes chili chili. |
