Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 cups Chili Sans Beans, recipe follows, or your favorite prepared chili
4 Chicago-style hot tamales (or 4 prepared pork, chicken or beef tamales), usually found in the freezer section
12 sport peppers, chopped
1/4 white onion, chopped
4 hot dog buns
1 1/2 cups shredded Manchego
2 small bags corn chips, such as Fritos, crushed
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
1 pound Mexican-style chorizo,such as El Supremo brand
1 onion, diced
1 to 2 tablespoons chili powder
1 to 2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stout beer
1 tablespoon hot sauce
One 14.5-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Heat the Chili Sans Beans in a small saucepot until it is simmering, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat up the tamales using a steamer basket set over a pot of simmering water, until they are warmed through, about 10 minutes. (Or follow the package directions of the tamale you use.)
  • In a small bowl, combine the sport peppers and chopped onion.
  • For the sandwich build: Place a sprinkling of the onions and sport peppers along the bottom of the buns. Remove the husks of the tamales. Place the tamales in the buns and top with the Manchego. Then ladle a small amount of chili on top of that! Top with the remaining sport peppers and onions and sprinkle with the corn chips. Take a bite and instantly blog about how surprisingly amazing this combination of ingredients is.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the beef and chorizo and smoosh down. Start breaking up the chunks with a wooden spoon and let sear until the beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the meat from the pot and leave the fat. Then add the onions, chili powder, cumin, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Deglaze with the beer. Cook until the alcohol smell subsides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the hot sauce, tomatoes, stock and the reserved meat. Simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLING SOUP

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

One 3 1/2-pound whole chicken
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns plus freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
2 sprigs fresh thyme
3 large carrots, 1 cut into large chunks and 2 thinly sliced
3 large celery stalks, 1 cut into large chunks and 2 thinly sliced
2 medium yellow onions, 1 quartered and 1 chopped
2 medium parsnips, 1 cut into large chunks and 1 thinly sliced
6 sprigs fresh dill, 3 left whole and 3 chopped
6 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, 3 left whole and 3 chopped, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
A few fresh grinds whole nutmeg
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • For the soup stock: Combine the chicken, peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, thyme, carrot chunks, celery chunks, quartered onion, parsnip chunks, 3 sprigs dill and 3 sprigs parsley in a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches (about 5 quarts). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is very tender, for at least 1 1/2 hours (or up to 2 hours if you have the time. The longer the better!) Add more water, as needed, skimming off scum (there won't be much) and, if desired, some fat.
  • Carefully strain the stock, discarding everything except for the chicken. (You should have 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 quarts of stock.) Set the chicken aside to cool briefly while you put together the rest of the soup. Return the strained stock to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Add the sliced carrot, sliced celery, chopped onion, sliced parsnip, chopped dill, chopped parsley and the salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: In a small saucepan, bring the butter and 3/4 cup water to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour. Let cool for a few minutes so it's not so hot that it will cook the eggs, then whisk in the salt, sugar, nutmeg and the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated into a slightly lumpy thick batter. (It'll take a little work to whisk in the eggs.)
  • Drop heaping teaspoons of the dumpling mixture into the simmering soup, then cover and cook until the vegetables are tender and the dumplings are cooked through; begin checking for doneness at 15 minutes.
  • Pull the chicken meat off the bones and chop into bite-sized pieces. Season it with salt, then add it to the soup along with the ground black pepper. Taste and add more salt as needed. This is important: The amount of salt in a chicken soup can mean the difference between unappetizing chicken tea and the elixir of bubble love that it should be. So don't skip this step, and don't rush it, either. Taste your soup, and if it doesn't make you smile reflexively, add more salt, about a 1/2 teaspoon of it, and give it a few good stirs so it can dissolve. Taste and repeat, as needed, until it tastes good.
  • Serve, garnishing with fresh parsley.
