SPICY CHILI



Spicy Chili image

This spicy chili recipe is the culmination of several years' worth of experimenting to get just the right flavor. For those who like their chili very hot, the secret is to add more jalapenos. The most I ever used in a recipe was five...was it spicy! -Liesha Hoek, Somerset, New Jersey

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 10 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 34

3 tablespoons bacon grease or canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 Anaheim chiles, roasted, peeled, chopped
3 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, chopped
2 red bell peppers, diced
2 jalapenos chiles, minced
2 yellow onions, diced
1 head garlic, minced
1 pound boneless chuck, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 pounds ground beef, coarse grind
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons granulated onion
2 teaspoons hot paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 cups tomato sauce
1 cup tomato paste
12 ounces lager beer
1 cup chicken stock
Two 15.5-ounce cans kidney beans, with juice
Two 15.5-ounce cans pinto beans, with juice
Double-Fried French Fries, for serving, recipe follows
Saltine crackers, for garnish
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded Cheddar
Four 4- to 5-inch-long russet potatoes
8 cups canola oil
1 tablespoon fine grain sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the bacon grease and butter to a large stockpot over high heat. Add the Anaheim chiles, poblano chiles, red bell peppers, jalapeno chiles and onions, and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute longer. Add the chuck and brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and sausage and brown, stirring gently, trying not to break up the ground beef too much. Cook until the meat is nicely browned and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the chili powder, cayenne, coriander, cumin, granulated garlic, granulated onion, paprika, salt and black pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomato sauce and paste, and stir to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Stir in the beer and stock. Add the kidney and pinto beans; lower the heat and simmer, about 2 hours.
  • Serve the chili in bowls over Double-Fried French Fries and garnish with crackers, green onions and Cheddar.
  • Peel the potatoes on the sides, leaving the ends with the skin on. Cut the potatoes into 1/3-inch slices and then slice into 1/3-inch sticks.
  • Fill a large bowl with water and soak the potatoes, submerged, at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. This will help remove the excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing.
  • Fit a heavy stockpot with a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil to 325degress F.
  • Remove the potatoes from the water and pat dry to remove excess water. Carefully place two handfuls of potatoes into the hot oil. There should be at least 1 inch of oil above the potatoes. Parcook until the potatoes are light brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the potatoes, gently shaking off the excess oil and let them drain on a rack. Repeat the process until all of the potatoes are parcooked.
  • Raise the heat of the oil to 350 degrees F. Cook the potatoes again, two handfuls at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oil, shake off the excess oil, place in a bowl and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat the process until all of the potatoes are cooked.

BASIC SPICY CHILI



Basic Spicy Chili image

This is a basic chili recipe, but my favorite. Since I am a vegetarian, I omit the beef and add more beans for a great meatless chili. I also add more hot sauce for extra kick. This chili is great served with sour cream and/or cheese.

Provided by HollyJane

Categories     Beans

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs ground beef
3 medium onions, chopped
1 (46 ounce) can tomato juice
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
3 cups kidney beans, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons chili powder (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon Dave's Insanity hot sauce (or your favorite intense hot sauce--optional)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda (a pinch)
1 cup water (if needed)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, saute beef and onions together until beef is browned.
  • Drain beef and add to a large soup pot (this step can be skipped if you wish to brown the beef in the soup pot).
  • Add tomato juice and simmer over medium heat.
  • Add tomatoes (with their juice), crushing between fingers to break apart.
  • Add kidney beans, chili powder (the entire 4 tablespoons may be a bit much for some people, so start out small and add to taste), and optional hot sauce.
  • After mixture comes to a simmer, add baking soda (the baking soda will help cut down the acidity of the tomatoes).
  • Simmer for about 20-30 minutes, adding water if necessary to thin out the chili.
  • Taste for seasoning.

Tips:

  • Soak Beans Overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce cooking time and aids digestion.
  • Choose High-Quality Chili Peppers: The type of chili peppers you use will significantly impact the spiciness of your chili. Choose varieties like habaneros, cayenne, or ghost peppers for an extra spicy kick.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients, including vegetables, herbs, and spices, will elevate the flavor of your chili. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp bell peppers, and aromatic onions for the best results.
  • Brown the Meat Well: Browning the meat before adding it to the chili helps to develop flavor and add depth to the dish.
  • Simmer for a Long Time: The longer you simmer your chili, the better the flavors will meld together. Aim for at least an hour of simmering time, or even longer if you have the time.
  • Don't Be Afraid to Experiment: There are endless ways to customize your chili. Try adding different spices, vegetables, or even chocolate for a unique twist.

Conclusion:

With these tips and recipes, you can easily create an extra spicy chili that will satisfy your cravings for heat and flavor. Remember to use caution when handling chili peppers, and always adjust the amount of peppers you use based on your personal spice tolerance. Enjoy your fiery chili creation!
