food How do you like your chili?

Tried doing one with my chocolate habolokia and two spoonfuls was enough..Now in the freezer with a nuclear label on was to damn hot :)
 
Had to dig DEEP for this one.... :cool:

...since it's chili weather here in the Northern Hemisphere, and in lieu of starting a NEW thread, I was wondering if we have any fresh opinions on this topic.

Also, I think this would be an excellent place to post your chili recipes and photos....

BRING IT ON!!
 
If there is a post pic rule... and if not I'll post my recipe which really depends on what's in the house at that time.
 
Looks like this one has been reserected a couple of times. Makes me want to do chili tomorrow. Tonight it's Fajitas
 
This is a great classic thread.

I wanna see recipes, pics (if you have the capability, but not paramount), and thoughts on what you think chili ought to be and contain.

roflmao @ Paulky...bored this morning????...this is the second or third time this post has been resurected...

Chili...now that is a good subject....

I have started making my own chili powder...or at least trying...just can't get the Chile de Arbols to grow for me here so I substitute super chili or some kind of cayenne...

equal parts of:

Cascbel
Anaheim (or Poblano)
Chile de Arbol (or super chili or cayenne)

if you want a darker powder, use more cascabel but watch out, the earthy taste of the cascabel may overpower...
 
This one was originally posted in the VeggieFest un-official TD a few months ago. It's a great recipe and I'll be making it again soon. It'll keep the thread going anyway~

A couple days ago, it was raining like crazy, thunder and lightening, the perfect kind of day for a hot spicy bowl of chili! Perfect time to whip up some easy veggie chili.This recipe is originally from The Frog/Commissary Cookbook, a couple of Seattle area restaurants. 'Ccourse, I didn't follow the recipe exactly, just sort of used the recipe as inspiration.
Fine chop all the veggies, then saute in olive oil-Add dry spices, cook for few minutes,add tomatoes, beans, water, quinoa (or bulgar wheat) and the rest of the ingredients.
2 cups onion
1 cup celery
1 cup green peppers
1 cup carrots
2 cups mushrooms
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp (OR MORE!) dry chipotle or crushed red pepper
1 TBSP cumin
3/4 tsp dried basil
3/4 tsp dried oregano
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 large can crushed or diced tomatoes w/ juice
1 16 oz can tomato sauce
2 cups water
2 cans drained beans of your choice
1/2 tsp hot sauce- your choice
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce
1 cup quinoa or bulgar whea
Opt- 1/4 c dry red or white wine
Opt- 2 tbsp chopped chiles- your choice

Here's the ingredient-The stuff in the bowl on the right is the quinoa, spices down front, frozen/ground garlic in the plastic bag

I was making this early in the day so I put it into the crock pot to cook. The little white things that look like seeds is the quinoa, not cooked up yet.

And the serving-topped with cheese, scallions, a couple splashed of Ghost Fire hot sauce, and chips! Delightful!

your chilli does look good & I'd eat it, but when it comes to chilli its something about the dish that meat is just a required ingredient. kinda like veggie burgers are just not the same as a good ol' meat burger.
to each their own I guess.

heres an old pic that I've posted here before, venison burger chilli :drooling:
