Official Chili of The Rainwater Ranch




Source of Recipe


Rainwater Repitle Ranch


List of Ingredients




3 lbs. ground turkey
1 large onion, chopped
6-7 8 oz. cans of salt-free tomato sauce + 1 can of water
4-5 large tomatoes, skinned and chopped
1 can of Ranch Style beans, or 1 can of pinto beans
1.5 tsp paprika and cumin
1 tsp cilantro
1/2 tsp ground mustard and salt
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1 T oregano
1/2 C custom chili powder blend
1 T cornmeal


Recipe



Empty the tomato sauce cans into a large pot. When all of the cans are empty, fill one can about half way with water, and pour the water sequentially into all of the cans to glean any remaining tomato sauce. Pour this into the pot. Stir in all of the spices and the chili blend (about this, more later). Chop and stir in the onions and chopped tomatoes.

Brown the ground turkey in a little bit of olive oil. Remove to a plate with several paper towels and drain as much of the excess fat as possible, then stir the meat into the chili. Let the whole mixture simmer for an hour before adding the beans and cornmeal. We prefer Ranch Style Beans because of the extra kick they add, but any conventional canned pinto beans will do. Or pre-cook dried beans if you prefer. Let this simmer for another hour before serving. Serve topped with a little grated cheddar or parmesan cheese.

The grocery-store type chili powder generally contains a lot of ingredients besides chili powder, including a great deal of unnecessary salt. We prefer to use pure chili powder from Pendery's, and are likely to make each batch of chili with a different blend of powders. Among those we have used are Pecos Red, Sonora Sun, Cochise, Gila Flats, Cordova and Pendry's own salt-free chili blend, but certainly there are plenty to choose from if you want to experiment.
