Source of Recipe


Cold Spring Tavern , Santa Barbara CA


Recipe Introduction


The Cold Spring Tavern was originally a stagecoach stop on San Marcos Pass between the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Barbara, California. While the stagecoaches are long gone, the tavern is still here serving great and hearty meals in the same rustic building that has stood for over 100 years.




List of Ingredients




24 oz dry black beans
40 oz meat (venison, buffalo, rabbit are recommended) chopped or ground as desired
24 oz fresh pasilla chiles
24 oz onions
12 oz diced tomatoes
3 oz chili powder
2 oz cumin seed
salt, pepper to taste
water



Recipe



Cook the beans in water according to package directions. This will dictate the basic amount of water to use. Feel free to add water to yield your preferred chili consistency (AW).

In a frying pan, saute the meat until browned; reserve; saute the onions and chilies until the onions are transparent (use a little canola oil if fat from meat is insufficient).

Combine the beans, meat, onions and chili; add tomatoes.

Add seasonings and salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer for one hour.



Suggested Serving

Laddle into a large bowl and top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped jalepeños. It's great with a crusty french or sour dough bread. Enjoy!

Makes 1.1 gallon.
