Recipe Introduction


Singer Kenny Rogers, who's building a new home near Branson, cooks up a pot of his chili flavored with pineapple chunks to share with family and friends. "It's a favorite of mine," he says, "and, believe me, it's meant to warm a southern boy's heart and soul!"


List of Ingredients




1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks in syrup
2 lb. lean boneless pork roast cut into 1-inch cubes
2 T. olive oil
1 medium yellow onion chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic minced
1 (8 oz.) can tomatoes, cut up
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chile peppers, drained
1 green pepper chopped (3/4 cup)
1 medium yellow onion chopped (1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 C. chili powder
4 tsp. ground cumin
1 to 3 T. seeded and finely chopped jalapeño pepper
1/2 tsp. salt

Chili toppers:
Sliced onions
Sour cream
Shredded Cheddar cheese
Drain pineapple, reserving syrup.



Recipe



In a Dutch oven, cook pork, half at a time, in hot olive oil till brown. Return all the meat to the pot. Add the first chopped onion and 1 clove garlic. Cook over medium heat till onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the reserved pineapple syrup, undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, green chile peppers, the green pepper, 1 onion, 2 cloves garlic, chili powder, cumin, jalapeño pepper and salt.

Bring to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer the chili for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the pineapple chunks. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes more.

Let diners add their own toppers. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

NOTE: To increase the spiciness of the chili, Kenny adds 2 more tablespoons of the jalapeño pepper.
