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
