I'm no longer gonna try to do this by week. If I pull it off wahoo, but i'm not going to try for it anymore.
Anyway this time I went for a more autumn It's-getting-cold-out-there recipe. It's Chili! That warm thick stew-like soup that goes with several things including hot dogs.
Well onto the recipe...
Chili (Seriously that's all its called...maybe I'll try to think of a better title)
1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
1/4 c sweet white onion
3 cloves Garlic Minced
1/4 c fresh cilantro
1 Pkg Old El Paso chili mix
1/4 c Grapeseed oil or Extra Virgin Olive oil
1 Jalapeno pepper(sliced fine)
1 Serano pepper (sliced fine)
1) In a large saucepan over low heat add oil, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and cilantro. Cook for about 15-20 minutes.
2) Add Chili mix and blend well. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes.
3) Remove from Heat serve and enjoy!
The changes I made to this recipe were mainly based upon my desires and likes concerning certain ingredients. First, I got two 15 oz cans of diced tomatoes preferring taking an immersion blender to smooth out the texture cand add some extra body to the chili. I got just a whole onion instead of measuring it, and just finely diced it up in my Ninja Food processor.(This thing is my god I use it for soo much stuff!) I did the same thing to my peppers that I got. ( 2 Fresno Chili peppers instead of the ones mentioned above) The final change I made was to omit the Cilantro I can't stand the ingredient and even then i think 1/4 cup would be too much anyway.
The recipe is Wonderful! i've made it before to the letter but it was too spicy by just a little. The new choice in peppers fixed that up nicely. It still had that nice full body texture and taste to it but it didn't start to be too spicy to eat when you were down to the last 5 or so bites. The Diced tomatoes as i used that added a happy and surprising chunks now and then, but it was never chunks that were too big to feel out of place.
Well that's it for now...look forward(or don't) to my next curious recipe!
