    Recipe Introduction


    Singer Kenny Rogers, who's building a new home near Branson, cooks up a pot of his chili flavored with pineapple chunks to share with family and friends. "It's a favorite of mine," he says, "and, believe me, it's meant to warm a southern boy's heart and soul!"

    List of Ingredients




    1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks in syrup
    2 lb. lean boneless pork roast cut into 1-inch cubes
    2 T. olive oil
    1 medium yellow onion chopped (1/2 cup)
    1 clove garlic minced
    1 (8 oz.) can tomatoes, cut up
    1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
    1 (4 oz.) can diced green chile peppers, drained
    1 green pepper chopped (3/4 cup)
    1 medium yellow onion chopped (1/2 cup)
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/4 C. chili powder
    4 tsp. ground cumin
    1 to 3 T. seeded and finely chopped jalapeño pepper
    1/2 tsp. salt

    Chili toppers:
    Sliced onions
    Sour cream
    Shredded Cheddar cheese
    Drain pineapple, reserving syrup.

    Recipe



    In a Dutch oven, cook pork, half at a time, in hot olive oil till brown. Return all the meat to the pot. Add the first chopped onion and 1 clove garlic. Cook over medium heat till onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
    Add the reserved pineapple syrup, undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, green chile peppers, the green pepper, 1 onion, 2 cloves garlic, chili powder, cumin, jalapeño pepper and salt.

    Bring to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer the chili for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the pineapple chunks. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes more.

    Let diners add their own toppers. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

    NOTE: To increase the spiciness of the chili, Kenny adds 2 more tablespoons of the jalapeño pepper.
