Just talked to the Chili Pepper Institute a few minutes ago, and the sad news is that Biad Chili, their processor, didn't do any pure NuMex Heritage 6-4 powder this past season. But I ordered some mild green, hot green, mild red, medium red and chipotle powders directly from Biad. I imagine they'll be pretty good, maybe not quite to the level of brick-red cocaine.
www.biadchili.com if you want to check out their shop.

my chili is now always based on this except i ignore "Never put beans in the chili" and i make a paste out of reconstituted anchos rather than using ground http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Gordons-Chili

oh also. today i went to whole foods to buy ground beef and i was too early or something so they didn't have any out yet and the guy was like what do you want and i said just regular 85% and he only had grass fed ready so he sold me grass fed for the price of regular so i didn't have to wait and i got FOUR POUNDS of it. what a savings!

smart move, it always comes out better this way
btw i always think this thread is about chili peppers and not chili the dish

chili season is upon us this is in the oven http://leitesculinaria.com/101193/recipes-shredded-beef-chili-sweet-potatoes.htmlskipped beer because i don't like dark beer really, added more vinegar bc i love vinegar. my 5 qt saute pan is just a little too small for this but i didn't want to use slow cooker. too slow.

I am cooking chili as we speak! White chili: brown off some bone-on, skin-on thighs, remove and saute onion green pepper yellow pepper jalapeno pepper why because that is what I had; chopped garlic plus some minced chipotle in adobo and some chopped tomatoes; chicken stock (homemade thankyouverymuch); can o' rinsed hominy and then the chicken removed from bone and chopped up; maybe I should throw in some tempeh why because I have some in the fridge? Then to finish will do cilanto lime sour cream some grated cheese. Oh wait cumin coriander oregano in there too.

first ever veggie chili experiment today. according to resident vegetarian, it is delicious. adapted from here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/132394/meatiest-vegetarian-chili-from-your-slow-cooker/
1. starch:
5 x 6" corn tortillas12oz beer
you can either throw both into the blender to make a sort of tortilla-beer puree, or what I do (makes a lot less mess): mince the tortillas by hand and then throw them in a tupperware, pour the beer in, then let it soak overnight. I stole this from america's test kitchen as a preferred thickener vice cornstarch, etc.
2. cans and hot stuff:
2 habaneros, seeded and diced1 7 oz can of chipotles in adobo sauce, drained, rinsed and chopped2 28 oz cans black beans, drained1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
dump all that in the slow cooker first. then drain the beer/tortilla mixture and pour that on top.
3. fresh produce & protein:
4 C onions, chopped (I used 2 yellow + 1 white)4 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped15 oz tofu, cubed5 cloves garlic, minced or pressed1/4 C olive oil
^^^ all of this goes in a pan on medium high, onions first until glassy, then then peppers and tofu for about 10 minutes. Then throw all that in.
4. dry seasonings:
1 tsp salt3/4 tsp black pepper1/4 tsp cayenne2 tbsp cumin5 tbsp chili powder2 tbsp oregano2 bay leaves
I put all this together in a thing and then shake out a layer over the other ingredients in the cooker. Low for six hours.I let the spice layer soak in on top and get nice and dark brown for a couple of hours before stirring everything around. Oh and push the bay leaves around so they're not just sitting on top. Or skip the bay leaves, I think they're probably placebo anyway.

I have a texas beef chili recipe that needs more fine tuning (I've only been making it off and on for 5 years)
― El Tomboto, Monday, 30 May 2016 21:19 (seven years ago) link
also this makes an ungodly huge amount of chili. I filled up all my available rubbermaid storage and am eating the rest out of the slow cooker with chips

I’m watching some epicurious.com characters making different kinds of chili on YouTube and they’re ALL WRONG
― El Tomboto, Monday, 22 June 2020 23:09 (three years ago) link
one of them is just using turkey and kidney beans and affecting this amateur schtick like they aren’t really that concerned with the results one of them claims to be making chili con carne but then makes a big deal of adding a huge mess of beans to itand the other one is making seafood stew and calling it chili my chili rockism is killing me
― El Tomboto, Monday, 22 June 2020 23:13 (three years ago) link
Tombot it has been a decade since I had what I would characterize as a substantive disagreement with you but chili is "a spicy bowl full of some protein-heavy stuff." Beans, meat, whatever, the weird "it's only chili if _____" stuff is pointless. Eat spicy bowls full of food and be free imo

scallops, crab, and shrimp in a bowl with vegetables and seasonings is seafood stew, I don’t care if you put two dried chipotles in it
― El Tomboto, Monday, 22 June 2020 23:39 (three years ago) link
the turkey chili is fine it was just made with feigned carelessness which I found highly annoying the “chili con carne” guy dumping chickpeas in there was just... OK man, words mean nothing
