ARCADIAN EIGHT BEAN CHILI
=========================
(Serves 25)

Ingredients:
------------
1/4 lb   each of the following dried beans:  kidney, white, pink, black,
red, pinto, cranberry, and navy
1 lb     bacon
5        large onions, peeled and chopped
2/3 cup  minced garlic
1/4 cup  toasted coriander seeds, ground
1/4 cup  ground cinnamon
1/4 cup  paprika
1/4 cup  cayenne pepper, or to taste for the timid of tongue
1/2 cup  ground dried Poblano chili peppers
108 oz   (#10 can) Italian plum tomatoes, with juice
12 oz    beer
5 lb     lean ground beef
salt to taste

Instructions:
-------------
In a large pot, soak the beans together overnight in water to cover.

Drain and add fresh water to cover.  Cook at a simmer for 1 1/2 hours or
until beans are just tender.

While the beans are simmering, heat a large skillet.  Mince the bacon
and cook it until it begins to crisp.  Add the onions and garlic and
cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.  Add all the spices and the ground
Poblanos and cook another 5 minutes.  Add the tomatoes with their juice
and the beer.  Simmer for half an hour.

In another pan, cook the beef until the pink color disappears.  Drain
and add it to tomatoe mixture.

When the beans are fully cooked, drain them, reserving the liquid, and
add the beans to the meat/tomato mixture.  Salt to taste and let the
mixture simmer for about 1 hour.  If it is too dry, add some of the bean
liquid.

BLACK BEAN CHILI WITH ORANGES
=============================
(serves 6-7)

Ingredients + Instructions:
---------------------------
In a 5- to 6-quart pan (with lid), combine:

2         large (about 1 pound, total) onions, chopped
2 cloves  garlic, pressed or minced
1 tblsp   salad oil.

Place over high heat.  Stir often until onions are tinged with brown,
about 8 minutes.

Add:
----
2 quarts regular-strength chicken broth
1 pound  (about 2 1/2 C) dried black beans, sorted for debris and rinsed
1 tblsp  coriander seed
1 tsp    whole allspice
1 tsp    dried oregano leaves
3/4 tsp  crushed dried hot red chilies
6        cardamom pods, hulls removed (1/4 tsp seed).

Bring to a boil over high heat.  Reduce heat to simmer.  Cover and
simmer until beans are tender to bite, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

While the beans simmer, prepare the fruit as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------
Remove 2 teaspoons zest from:

2 1/2 pounds (approximately) oranges, mandarins (tangerines),
tangelos, or tangelolos.  (Tangelolos, a cross between grapefruit
and tangelos, are a fairly recent development and aren't widely
available.)

Ream enough fruit to produce:
-----------------------------
1/2 C juice.

Remove the peel and white membrane from the remaining fruit.
Thinly slice fruit crosswise. Remove any seeds.

After the beans become tender, raise heat to high, uncover, and boil
until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10 - 15 minutes.  (Reduce
the heat and stir occasionally as mixture thickens.)

Remove beans from heat and stir in:
-----------------------------------
1 tsp      zest
the 1/2 C  juice.

Ladle beans into serving bowls.
Place the sliced fruit equally on top of the beans in each bowl.

Add to taste:
-------------
sour cream
fresh cilantro (coriander) sprigs
salt.

Garnish with the remaining 1 tsp zest.

CHILI
=====

Ingredients:
------------
2 lb        Ground Beef (The leaner the better)
1           15oz Can Kidney Beans (I tried it starting from scratch with
dried beans but it wasn't worth the effort)
1           15oz can Black Turtle Beans (Progresso makes good ones)
1           8oz can tomato sauce (I don't like a lot of tomato in my chili)
1           large Yellow Onion (Chopped)
5-6 cloves  of garlic (or about 2 teaspoons of garlic in oil)
12 Large    Jalapeno peppers (Take the seeds out before using)
1 tblsp     Paprika
1 tblsp     Cumin
1 tblsp     Garlic Powder
1 tblsp     Oregano
1 tsp       Cayenne (I told ya I liked it hot)
1/2 tsp     Black Pepper
Salt to taste
Enough Olive oil to saute the onions,garlic and jalapenos

Instructions:
-------------
Chop the onions, peppers and garlic.  Saute them in olive oil until the
onions are browned.  Throw in the Beef and continue cooking until the
beef is browned.  When done, throw the mixture along with all of the
other ingredients, into a crock pot or stewing pot.  In the crock pot
cook for 6 to 10 hours.  In the stew pot cook covered for about an hour
and a half.  If more liquid is needed I like to add beer, but red wine
is great too.

CHILI
=====

Ingredients:
------------
bay leaf
2-3 cups    soaked beans (black or red)
4 tsp       cumin
4 tsp       oregano
4 tsp       paprika
1/2 tsp     cayenne
ground "New Mexico" chili powder (however much looks good, few tsp.?)
Gebhardt's chili powder (however much looks good, few tsp.?)
1           chili negro or ancho
peanut oil
2           large onions, chopped
4-6 cloves  garlic, minced
salt
ca. 4 cups  tomatoes, chopped (fresh/peeled or canned)
1-2 tsp     chopped chipotle chili
1/4 cup     red wine
1-2 Tblsp   vinegar (wine, cider, rice)

Instructions:
-------------
Cover beans and bay leaf with 2 inches of fresh water, bring to boil.
Lower heat and simmer.  Toast cumin and oregano over med.  heat,
stirring so they don't burn.  When they're fragrant, add paprika,
cayenne, and chili powders--toast a few seconds.  Remove from heat.
Then grind with mortar and pestle.  Dry the chili negro or ancho in a
hot oven (400) for a few minutes.  Cool and remove stem, seeds, veins.
Shred it and then grind in food processor, blender, etc.  Saute onion in
oil till soft, add garlic, salt, ground herbs and chili, cook 5 min.
Add tomato, juice, 1 tsp.  chipotle, and some red wine, cook about 20
min.  Add to the beans and add more water to cover beans by 1 inch.
Cook till beans are soft (1 hr.) Taste chili, add vinegar to taste.
Adjust seasoning (cumin, oregano, salt, chili powder, chipotle,
vinegar.)

If you can wait, it's best to serve it a day later.  Very good with
cornbread.

CHILI
=====

Ingredients:
------------
3 cups   dried beans, 1/2 pinto, 1/2 black beans
1 can    S&W salsa
1 bulb   garlic  (6-8 cloves for the garlic-tolerance-impaired)
1/3 cup  chili powder (I used 1/2 cup, it was maybe a bit much.)
1 tblsp  cumin
1.5 lb   ground beef ("chili grind", or braising tips cut into 1/4" cubes.)
1/4 tsp  oregano
3        Chipotle peppers  (or 4 or 5...)
1        large onion.

Instructions:
-------------
Soak the beans overnight.  Brown the ground beef, and drain off the fat.
If the chipotles are dried, soak them for 5 minutes in hot water, then
pulverize them with the onion and garlic in a blender.  Add onion,
oregano, chili powder, cumin, beef, garlic, and beans to crock pot, with
"enough" water.  Let simmer for about 12 hours.  About an hour before
it's done, add the can of salsa.

The "chili powder" is bulk powdered "chili powder" chilies, New Mexico
chilies, I think.  NOT the mixture with all kinds of other spices in it
that is more common in grocery stores.  I like my chili heavier on the
chili powder, lighter on the tomatoes.

GREEN-CHILE STEW
================

Ingredients:
------------
6 - 8    fresh long green chiles, roasted, peeled, seeds removed
and cut into coarse chunks (note 1)
1        medium onion, chopped fine
3 to 5   cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp    oregano
1 tsp    cumin
1 lb     lean pork, cut into 1" cubes
Juice of 1/2 lime
Up to 1-1/2 cups chicken stock
Salt, black pepper, and hot green chiles to taste (see note 2)
1 tblsp  olive oil

Instructions:
-------------
Heat Dutch oven or medium saucepan over high.  Saute onion, garlic,
oregano and cumin until onion is clear.  Add green chiles, saute and
stir.  Add pork cubes and stir to seize all sides of the pork; add lime
juice and mix.

Now add chicken stock, stopping when most of the pork cubes are covered
with liquid.  Stir well, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and set the
timer for 30 minutes.  Check occasionally to make sure the stuff isn't
scorching on the bottom.  When the timer goes off, check the consistency
and either add more stock if it's gotten thicker/drier than you like it,
or raise the heat and cook uncovered to thicken if it's too runny.  Add
salt and black pepper now.

Serve with fresh corn tortillas, a pepper-garlic-onion garnish I'll
describe shortly, and lots of cold beer, horchata, or jamaica.  You can
also serve this with sour cream, which is nice.

Garnish:
--------
I've taken to chopping up fresh chiles to make my own food hotter, since
the kids max out at Anaheim chiles.  My base mild mix is to cut up an
ancho or poblano chile (the dark green glossy ones, triangular and
medium-pungent) into 1/4" dice, as well as about a quarter of an onion
and a clove of garlic.  Add a little olive oil and some dried oregano,
stir well and salt to taste.  Sprinkle this on the chile verde, roll it
up in your tortillas, use it in omelettes or even on Texas-style chili.

Notes:
------
1.  Long green chiles: if you can't find them fresh, you can use canned
but the taste will be slightly different; the canned variety add lots of
citric acid as a preservative.  You might want to cut down on the lime
in that event.  I used fresh Anaheim chiles from my garden last year,
and will do so again this year as the Anaheim is producing earliest
(four chiles!) but I'm anxious for my New Mexico varieties to get going.
The original poster is in the center of the universe for this stuff,
though, and frankly you'd probably get better recipes asking your
co-workers, fellow students, or the janitorial staff there than the net;
if you do, please post it!  :-)

2.  Hot chiles: The Anaheims are pretty mild.  Some people like to add
jalapenos to this, but I preferred the serranos when we had the pepper
garden last year.  I liked six Anaheims and six serranos when it was
just for me and Kim, but the girls wouldn't touch it, which is why I
started making the garnish.  You can also garnish with chopped fresh
cilantro or epazote if you can find it; we're growing that and I love it
so far, it's like a cross between cilantro and sorrel in flavor.

GREEN CHILI - TRIPLE HHH (HOWARD'S HOTTER'N HELL)
=================================================
(Servings: 10)

Ingredients:
------------
1 tblsp   Oil
2 lb      Chicken breasts boneless - or Pork Shoulder Roast
2         Onions
2 tsp     Minced garlic
1 tsp     Oregano
1 tsp     Cumin powder
2 tsp     Ground red chili
1 tblsp   Red chili flakes
1         Tomato
1 can     Tomatillos
4 lb      Green chilis
4 cup     Wyler's chicken boullion
3 tblsp   Cornstarch

Instructions:
-------------
Preferably use fresh roasted, peeled, and seeded New Mexican green
chilis.  Since these are not available in most parts of the country
outside the Southwest, dried, frozen, or canned chilis may be
substituted, in that order of desirability.  Dried chilis are the next
best thing to fresh.  Frozen new mexican chilis under the brand name
"Bueno" are available in some parts of the country and are good quality.
Canned chilis are the least desirable but can be used if you are
desperate.  If possible use a mixture of canned and fresh or dried.
Dried green chilis, and a large assortment of other dried chilis,
spices, and Mexican food ingredients are available through mail order
from Old Southwest Trading Company, P.O.  Box 7545, Albuquerque, NM
87194.  Call 1-800-748-2861 for a catalog.  In August and September they
will ship fresh green chili.

Cut chicken breasts into 1/2" cubes.  Slice onions lengthwise.  Chop
chilis, tomato and tomatillos.  Add oil to heavy, preferably cast iron,
skillet and brown chicken over high heat.  It is best to do it in two or
three small batches.  Remove to large saucepan.  Add onions and garlic
to leftover oil and brown until onions are soft.  Add oregano, cumin,
and red chili, and cook for two or three minutes.  Transfer from skillet
to saucepan with chicken.  Add tomato, tomatillos, chilis, and chicken
broth.  Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 - 4 hours.  Add water as
necessary to maintain the desired consistency.  Add 3 - 4 tablespoon
cornstarch mixed with water prior to serving to thicken as desired.

Eat from a bowl accompanied with a warm flour tortilla or use it as a
sauce over chili rellenos, eggs, enchiladas, or just about anything.
One of my favorite meals is to grill a steak until nice and juicy,
smother with green chili, sprinkle some grated cheese on top and serve
with Mexican rice.

2 lbs    Round steak, extra lean (or flank steak), cubed
1 lb     Pork shoulder, extra lean, chili grind or cubed
1 lb     Linguica or andouille sausage, chopped fine
3        Purple onions, large, chopped small
3        Walla Walla Sweet Onions, or other sweet onion
6        Garlic cloves, finely minced
2 cup    Green Chiles, chopped (Ortega or other good brand)
2        Green peppers, chopped small
2        Red peppers, chopped small
2        Celery ribs, minced
1/4 cup  parsley, minced
8 tblsp  Chili powder (GebhardtUs or other good brand)
2 tblsp  Cumin, ground
2 tblsp  Spanish sweet paprika
2 tblsp  Oregano, dried (preferably the Greek variety)
4        Red peppers, dried (or 2 tblsp crushed)
2 tsp    Black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp    MSG (Accent)
2 tsp    Salt
1 tsp    Coriander (crushed or ground)
2 tblsp  Maggi Seasoning
1/4 cup  Tiger Sauce
16 oz    Beef broth
2 cup    Tomato sauce (15 oz. Each)
1 cup    Tomato paste (12 oz)
1 cup    Italian plum tomatoes, whole, diced
2 tblsp  Masa Harina (or flour)
1 lb     Black beans (optional), soaked overnight
1        Beer from a good microbrewery like Ballard Bitters
Walla Walla sweets, diced, for garnish
Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, for garnish

Instructions:
-------------
Wash beans carefully and soak in enough salted water overnight to cover
them by 2 inches of water.  Bring to a boil and simmer the next day
until tender (usually 2-3 hours).

In the meantime, heat 2 tblsp of oil in a large, heavy skillet.  Add
garlic, onions, bell peppers, and celery.  Cook until the onions are
clear.  Remove and reserve.

Mix ground meats.  Add 1 T.  Oil to skillet and saute meat, cooking on
high heat until thoroughly browned.  Drain fat.  Remove ground meat and
reserve.  Brown cubed meat, drain, and reserve.  Place reserved
vegetables and meats in chili pot along with linguica (or Andouille).
Add all remaining vegetables, spices and liquids (except the beer, Masa
Harina, or beans), a little at a time, stirring and mixing thoroughly
between additions.  Carefully bring temperature up to a simmer.

Cook covered on very low heat approximately 5 hours.  Adjust the
consistency after 3 hours.  If too thin, uncover and reduce by turning
up heat (carefully) slightly.  If it is still not the desired
consistency, add masa harina (or flour) to thicken, beer to thin, as
needed.  Taste and adjust for spices carefully (the flavor will develop
as the chili cooks).  It should be hot enough to be memorable, but not
so hot it takes the skin off the roof of your mouth.  ItUs better to
sneak up on hot.  You canUt take it out.  If it cries out to be hotter,
add just enough Louisiana hot sauce.

Finally, and only if you absolutely must, add the beans.  A chili purist
would jettison them without a second thought.  If you canUt bring
yourself to do it, but want to serve the chili beanless as God intended,
serve the beans on the side and let people indulge their own leguminous
perversions.

Serve topped with chopped Walla Walla sweets, shredded Monterey Jack
cheese, and a pinch of parsley.

MARTIN'S TURKEY CHILI
=====================

Ingredients:
------------
1 cup     black beans
3 tblsp   olive oil
1         turkey breast (half breast), skinned
4         medium yellow onions, chopped
4 cloves  garlic, minced
3 ribs    celery, sliced
1         small green pepper, chopped
1         28-oz can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup   water
4 tblsp   chili powder
1/2 tsp   cayenne pepper
1 tsp     whole cumin seed

Toppings:
---------
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese and sour cream OR
Chopped ripe avocado

Instructions:
-------------
1.  Soak the beans overnight in water to cover generously.  Drain and
rinse briefly.

2.  Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottom pot over medium high heat.
When hot, brown the turkey breast well on all sides.  Remove and set
aside.

3.  Add the onions, garlic, celery, and green pepper.  Saute, stirring
frequently, until the vegetables are soft, 5-7 minutes.

4.  Add the beans, tomatoes, water, chili powder, cayenne, and the
turkey breast.  Heat until the pot starts bubbling, then reduce heat to
a slow simmer, partially cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hour.  Stir
occasionally, watching carefully that the bottom does not start to
stick.

5.  Remove the turkey breast, remove the bone, and coarsely shred the
meat with two forks (hold the meat with one fork, tear with the grain
with the other.) Return the meat to the pot.

6.  Heat a heavy bottom skillet over low heat.  Add the whole cumin seed
and toast 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until lightly brown
and aromatic.  Remove from heat.  Coarsely crush the cumin in a mortar
and pestle or with a rolling pin.  Add to the pot.

7.  Cook an additional one hour, or until the beans are tender.

8.  For the traditional approach, top with the cheese and sour cream;
for the modern/healthy approach, top with the avocado.

QUEEN OF CHILIS (Cincinnati-style)
===============

Ingredients:
------------
3        onions
1 lb     ground chuck
2        garlic cloves, minced
1 cup    barbeque sauce  (I think I used K.C. Masterpiece)
1 cup    water
1 tblsp  chili powder
1 tsp    black pepper
1/2 oz   unsweetened chocolate, grated
1/2 tsp  ground cumin
1/2 tsp  turmeric
1/2 tsp  allspice
1/2 tsp  cinnamon
1/4 tsp  ground cloves
1/4 tsp  ground coriander
1/4 tsp  ground cardamom
1 tsp    salt
tomato juice, as needed
9 oz     spaghetti, cooked and buttered
1        16-oz. can kidney beans, heated
1 lb     Cheddar cheese, shredded
oyster crackers

Instructions:
-------------
Chop 2 of the onions and set aside.  Chop remaining onion fine.  Salt a
large skillet.  Turn heat to medium and add meat, finely chopped onion,
and garlic.  Break up meat with fork and cook until it is browned.
Drain fat.

Add barbeque sauce and water.  Bring to a boil.  Add remaining
seasonings.

Cover and simmer over very low heat 30 minutes, stirring and tasting
occasionally, adding tomato juice if mixture is getting too dry.  Chili
is best when allowed to age overnight in refrigerator and reheated.

To construct the plate of 5-way chili, layer spaghetti on a plate (a
small oval plate is traditional), top it with hot chili, then with a
sparse layer of beans, then chopped onions.  Pat on plenty of cheese
while chili is still hot and serve immediately, with oyster crackers on
the side.  Serves 4.

SANDY'S CHILI
=============

Ingredients:
------------
1/3 cup   oil
3         medium onions, chopped
2 stalks  celery, chopped
4 cloves  garlic, minced
1         bell pepper, chopped
1         jalapeno pepper, minced
2 lbs.    tofu chunks
2 tblsp   each ground red chilis, cumin, oregano
1         bay leaf
2 cups    water
2         28 oz. cans tomatos
6 oz.     can tomato paste
2 cans    kidney beans
salt to taste

Instructions:
-------------
Saute first five ingredients in oil until limp.  Add tofu and saute
until browned.  Mix the spices together in a bowl and sprinkle into the
pot.  Mix thoroughly.  Add water, tomatoes and tomato paste.  Stir.
Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring
occasionally.  If desired, at this point, add the kidney beans.  Taste
and correct seasoning.  The addition of 1 tsp to 1 tblsp of cayenne
pepper can make this gradually more spicy.  As the recipe reads, itUs
fairly tame.  NOTE: The ground chilis are NOT chili powder.  Most chili
powder is made up of a combination of chilis, oregano, cumin, salt and
garlic.  If chili powder is all you can find, then you will have to
readjust the cumin and oregano amounts.

VEGETARIAN GREEN CHILE
======================

I serve this sauce over enchiladas, burritos, eggs, beans, using fresh
New Mexico green chiles.  Do not use canned chiles for this recipe.
(They just don't taste like green chiles to me.)

Amounts are approximate.  I usually just dump ingredients, esp.  chile
and garlic, until it looks "right".  This is a very forgiving recipe and
very basic.  I so much appreciate the taste of fresh, unadulterated
green chile and garlic, that I rarely add any other seasonings.

Ingredients:
------------
1       onion chopped
3-4     garlic cloves, smashed or chopped (I use more!!)
1 Tbsp  olive oil
6 cups  vegetable stock or vegetable bouillon
~12     roasted, peeled, chopped green chile (adjust according to
heat of the chile)
2 Tbsp  flour or cornstarch
salt & pepper to taste

Procedure:
----------
Saute onion, garlic in olive oil.  Add chile, stock.  Add salt and
pepper.  Dissolve flour or cornstarch in a cup of hot water and add,
stirring to prevent lumps.  Simmer for 45 minutes.

Optional ingredients:
---------------------
1-2   potatos diced (1/2" or so)
1-2   chopped tomatos
1-2   whatever else
cilantro, cumin, oregano

Add with the chile and stock.  Potatos help thicken the chile,
especially after it has been frozen since they tend to disintegrate in
the freezer.  Add the cilantro after it has simmered to retain the fresh
cilantro flavor.

ZESTY CHILI
===========

Ingredients:
------------
1 lb     carrots
1 lb     zucchini
1 lb     onions
1/4 cup  vegetable oil
3 lb     ground turkey (or beef)
1 tblsp  minced garlic
4        28-oz cans crushed tomatoes
1        15-oz can of tomato sauce
2 tsp    salt

Instructions:
-------------
Chop carrots, zucchini and onions in the food processor.

Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a 6 quart pot.  Add vegetables.  Cook over
medium-high heat 15-20 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times until almost
tender.

Put 3 lbs.  ground turkey (or beef) and 1 tbsp.  minced garlic in a 8
quart pot.  Cook, breaking up meat, until it is no longer pink.  Stir in
the vegetables, four 28-oz.  cans crushed tomatoes in puree (drain some
of the juice or it might be too watery), a 15 oz.  can of tomato sauce
and 2 tsp.  salt.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low.  Simmer
15 to 20 minutes for flavors to develop.

You will have about 22 cups of meat sauce.  You can use the sauce as is
for spaghetti sauce or freeze some for future chili.

(or you can decrease proportions and make less to begin with).

With 7 cups of the meat sauce, add 38-oz.  of kidney beans and 2 or more
tablespoons chili powder.  Top with shredded cheese and onions.

Refrigerate up to 5 days.  Freeze up to 4 months.
