Yield 8 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 pounds chuck roast
1 1/2 pounds pork chops, center-cut
3 cups onion, chopped
2 cups celery, chopped
1 whole garlic bulb, peeled and crushed
4 Dehydrated green chilies (or 2 small cans diced green chilies)
1 16-oz. can tomato sauce Warm water
Olive oil
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly ground coriander seeds
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
4 tablespoons chili powder -- or up to 6 tablespoons. Use good quality
1 cup grapefruit juice
4 to 6 tablespoons Blue cornmeal
Juice of lime

Steps:

  • If using dried chilies, soak for at least two hours in hot water and save one cup of water. Remove most of the fat and cut the meat into small cubes. Sear the meat using two tablespoons of olive oil. Place seared meat in stock pot or large cooking pot on medium heat. Add chilies and tomato sauce. Rinse tomato sauce can with warm water and add. Sauté onions, celery and garlic until clear and add to the pot. Combine spices in jar with a lid. Add one cup warm water, shake well and pour into pot. Rinse jar with grapefruit juice and pour into pot. Reduce heat, cook for two hours making sure chili continues bubbling slightly. Stir occasionally. After the two hours check for salt taste. Combine the cornmeal and one cup of warm water in a jar with the lid. Shake well and stir into pot. Cook 30 minutes more. Stir in lime juice to taste immediately before serving. (Note: You can skip this and serve chili with lime quarters.)

Tips:

  • Use a Dutch oven or large pot to make chili. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chili from burning.
  • Brown the meat in batches. This will help to prevent the meat from steaming and ensure that it is evenly browned.
  • Use a variety of beans in your chili. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Add spices to taste. Chili is a versatile dish that can be made to suit your own taste preferences. Common spices used in chili include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve chili with your favorite toppings. Common toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, onions, and jalapeños.
