Sam's No.3 Kickin' Green Chili image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h10m

Yield 5 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

25 fresh Anaheim green chiles or five 4 1/2-ounce cans green chiles
3 sticks (12 ounces) butter or margarine, plus more for sauteing pork
3 pounds pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 large white onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 3/4 tablespoons ground dry mustard powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
6 large tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Two 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes
3 fresh jalapenos, diced, optional for added heat
1 cup flour

Steps:

  • If roasting your own chiles: Preheat an outdoor grill to high. Place the Anaheim chiles on the grill and cook, turning to cook evenly, until the skins blister and blacken. Remove from the grill and place in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and let the chiles stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the skin, stems and seeds and chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Heat some butter in a large pot and add the cubed pork. Cook about15 minutes, and then add the onions and spices. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally. When the pork has cooked through, add the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, green chiles and jalapenos, if using. Stir occasionally.
  • After 5 minutes, add 8 cups water. Bring to a low boil. Stir occasionally. Increase the heat and bring the chili to a rolling or high boil.
  • In separate pan, melt the butter or margarine and whisk in the flour, stirring until creamy.
  • Slowly add the roux to the chili, stirring constantly, and shut off the heat. Continue to stir so that the roux is evenly distributed. (Roux amount can be adjusted depending on desired consistency or thickness.)
  • Let stand 5 minutes and serve in a bowl or smothered!

KICKIN CHILI



Kickin Chili image

This is a wonderful chili, from Chef Emeril Legasse. The recipe for his famous seasoning,**Southwast Essense is listed below the ingredients for the chili. It's a great seasoning for just about anything. Just put all of the spices into a small bowl, mix and keep in an airtight container or bag. It makes about half cup. I usually at least triple the recipe for the Essence.

Time 1h55m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 31

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 lbs ground beef
4 cups chopped yellow onions
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 (12 ounce) bottles dark beer
2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes, crushed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
6 cups cooked red kidney beans (I use canned)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese, for garnish
1 cup finely chopped green onion, for garnish
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over high heat. Add the beef and brown well, about 10 minutes. Add the onions, chili powder, cumin, Southwest Essence, cayenne, cinnamon, crushed red pepper, and bay leaf and cook, stirring often, until the onions soften, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beer and cook until the foam subsides, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, brown sugar, and chocolate to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent the chili from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

  • Serve with the cheese, green onions, and cilantro alongside as garnish.
