Can you post your chili recipes? I searched through past posts and

most were pretty old. Maybe with all the new people we can get some

new recipes?

 

Mine is kinda bland and we've been making the same exact thing for 15+

years. We just mix 2 different kinds of beans with vegetable juice.

No spices, etc. I need an intervention! lol

Wonderful! Looking at your ingredients list, I must say i do know that jeera is

cumin (how I

remember that I don't know LOL) but what are horse beans? Do they have another

name? I

want to say pinto beans, but . . . ;=)

 

Best, Pat

I " just " made this yesterday evening. It, so far, is the best batch of beans

I've made (or chili beans since I used chile powder). I don't have a recipe

- just eyeballed it and added what I have.

 

Raw pinto beans (bag) that have been soaked overnight. Place in pot add

water to cover and bring to boil and turn off heat. Add contents to crockpot

and place setting on high.

 

When the beans got tender (about 3 hours) I added the following contents -

 

1/2 of a " big " onion that has been grilled over charcoal and mesquite wood,

chopped

1/4 of a bell pepper that has been grilled over charcoal and mesquite wood,

chopped (I would have used more but this is all I had left)

3 green onions chopped

4 cloves of garlic, minced (the more the merrier)

1 cup frozen corn

1 decent sized bunch of cilantro, chopped (probably about 10 sprigs)

1 can of Mexican style diced tomatoes (I take a knife and cut a bit more

while they are in the can)

2 corn tortillas, torn into small pieces

 

chile powder, plenty

cumin, plenty

1 cube veg bouillon

sea salt

bit of pepper

 

The beans were a bit over done in that they started splitting. The splitting

along with the much seasonings thickened up the broth to what I consider a

true chili consistency. It was very unexpected and yet the best batch of

beans I've done yet.

 

This isn't much of a step by step recipe but it may give you some ideas.

I've also added zucchini to chili. I've added tvp, Mexican oregano, liquid

smoke, cayenne pepper, basil, oregano... I'd say that this is the first time

that I actually didn't add any hot peppers to it. Normally I would have

added some jalps. I even had serranos on hand last night along with a couple

of types of dried peppers but went against it. Something must be in the

water. :)

 

Let us know how it goes and of course what kind of " spices " you used. :)

 

S. :)

Fava Beans are sometimes called horse beans, could that be what they are?
