    GREEN TOMATO CHILI

    FILE - GREEN TOMATO CHIL

    IThis isn't just a good way to use up
    green tomatoes at the end of the
    season, it's so good, you'll wish you
    had green tomatoes all winter.
    Luckily, they freeze really well.
    You can freeze green tomatoes easily.
    Blanch them briefly, trim the skins off,
    and freeze them chopped up, or whole.
    Actually, I don't even bother blanching
    them, although a lot of people do
    blanch them to sterilize them a bit.
    I figure that the skins are all that get
    close to being sterilized, and I trim them
    off anyway. I wash the tomatoes well,
    then, since the tomatoes are still kind
    of hard, I use a potato peeler to peel them.
    INGREDIENTS
    •1 lb ground beef
    •2 medium onions, chopped
    •2 1/2 cups peppers, sweet and hot mixed
    to your preference, chopped
    •1 Tbsp. minced garlic
    •2 cups diced red tomatoes
    •1 1/2 cups chopped green tomatoes
    •1 Tbsp. chili powder
    •2 tsp. cumin
    •2 tsp. oregano
    •1 tsp. coriander
    DIRECTIONS:
    Brown the ground beef, then drain, and
    remove from the pan. Set aside.
    Put a tablespoon or two of the fat back
    in the pan and add the onions and peppers,
    and sauté until they are starting to soften.

    Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and
    coriander, and sauté 1 minute. Add the red
    and green tomatoes, the meat, oregano,
    and a cup or two of water, optional.
    Simmer briskly, stirring often, until all the
    veggies are tender, about 1/2 hour.

    This can also be made with 1 lb of bite size
    beef stew meat. It's really good this way,
    but don't remove the beef from the pan
    when you add the veggies, and cook it for
    1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the beef is tender.

    Servings: 6 - 8
