Recipe Introduction


I have adapted this recipe for the slow cooker from a chili recipe garnered from Los Chili Heads, a nomadic tribe - made up of artists, ad guys and a lone archaeologist - that migrates through Pensacola in January for its ritualistic Chili Cooking, Hat Wearing, Knife Throwing and Hootin' 'n' Hollerin' Tequila Drank.

All of this activity, apparently, is performed in conjunction with moon phases, the rhythm of tides and the culmination of an arcane arena sport.

I have, with the exception of the rituals and the ingredients, faithfully replicated the recipe here.


List of Ingredients




1 4-pound pork roast

2 tablespoons salt

1 teaspoon white pepper

1/2 cup chili powder

cup cumin

10 cloves garlic, minced

1 24-ounce can diced tomatoes

1 15-ounce can tomatoes with green chilies

1 tablespoon Louisiana hot sauce

1 32-ounce can Bush's chili beans

4 tablespoons Wondra flour

Shredded cheese and green onion for garnish

1 bottle tequila (Cabo Wabo is just fine)

1 case cold beer (Lone Star)

Texas Toast (for sopping)

Recipe



The night before your party, place the roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder over the roast. Add garlic and tomatoes; put the lid on and refrigerate. Next morning, remove from fridge, turn on high, call your closest chili-head friends, invite them for supper and take off for work.

When you arrive home that evening, for the arduous task ahead, start out with shots of tequila to get yourself and your buddies into a chili state of mind. Wash it down with Lone Star. (Lone Star is hard to find; any Texas beer will do. OK - any beer will do.)

Now turn to the chili. Keep the heat up, and use tongs or a long fork to shred the pork in the pot. Stir in beans and hot sauce. Sprinkle the Wondra flour over the chili as you stir. Stir for about five minutes. Taste the chili and adjust your seasonings.

Set out bowls for all your friends, ladle the chili, garnish with cheese and onions, share the bread and enjoy. Polish off the tequila and beer, and in no time you'll find yourselves wearing hats, throwing knives and hollering at the moon.
