2 TSP Dried Oregano
2 TBL Dried Cilantro
2 TBL Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
2 TBL Herdez Salsa Verde (canned green salsa)

1/2 Lb Swordfish or Shark steak
1/2 Lb Scallops
1/2 Lb Squid, cut into rings


Recipe



To make the base:
Soften the sun-dried tomatoes buy simmering them in about one cup of water them, remove them from the water and chop (reserve water). Chop the onions and saute them in the olive oil until slightly translucent. Add the minced garlic and then the sun-dried tomatoes and chopped peppers. After a few minutes add the two cans of tomatoes and all reserved liquids.

Add the oregano, cilantro, chili powder and green salsa. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

At this point you can refrigerate the base (or freeze it) to make the chili later.

To make the chili:

Reheat the chili base and add the cooked beans. Simmer for about 15 minutes to heat the beans. Add the seafood and simmer another 10-15 minutes.

Serve garnished with tortilla chips, chopped green onions and grated Monterey Jack cheese.

Notes: I used some dried Ancho chiles, which I ground to substitute for some of the chili powder. I also made a double batch and substituted some red onions for the yellow. You can pretty much substitute other fish and shellfish in this recipe. Put in what you like but try for a mix of textures. *For those of you really interested in what a seafood quartet consists of, it contains the following: two fiddler crabs, one red drum and a sea bass.
