List of Ingredients
2 lb lean meat
2 Cloves (1 teaspoon) garlic
1 1/2 Tablespoon paprika
3 Tablespoons chile powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1 Tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne (red) pepper
1/8 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 Tablespoon diced green (bell) pepper
3 cups water
2 -3 oz olive oil
Recipe
Cut meat into 1/2 inch cubes trimming off fat and gristle. Toughness of meat doesn't matter, since it breaks down during cooking. Heat oil in a large heavy pan. Add meat, stirring to saute. Pour/drain off as much fat as possible, then add other ingedients, except salt. Cook under cover for 3 to 4 hours at a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add water for soupiness as desired. Add salt to taste late in cooking period. To make a tastier (spicier) chili, increase white and red pepper. If increasing servings, do NOT increase curry and be cautious adding peppers. A little garlic goes a long way. (Preparation time below does not include cooking time. Try to buy the meat already cut by the butcher and cut preparation time in half.)
Serving Suggestions
Serve over rice and/or beans. If chili is too hot, sprinkle sliced lettuce over servings. To take more heat out, double bell pepper and cook longer.
