Bad Attitude Chile by Kit Anderson
...most knowledgeable Chile-Heads regard this one recipe as the global 'Chili standard', against which ALL other chili recipes are to be judged! It's not a difficult recipe to make, and has a good spicy taste!
2 lbs pork roast -- cut into 1" pieces 2 lbs cheap ground beef -- (You'll need the fat.This isn't health food)
1/2 cup GOOD chile powder -- (Your local supermarket brand tastes like cardboard.)
1 HUGE onion -- roughly chopped
1 head garlic -- minced
8 New Mexican green chiles -- roasted, peeled, seeded, chopped.
1 tablespoon hot Hungarian paprika -- (This is legal. Paprika is a chile.)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
4 beef boullion cubes
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes -- (Don't worry. You won't even know they are there.)
1 bottle amber Mexican beer -- (Dos Equiis, Noche Buena, or any Oktoberfest will do.)*
1/4 cup bourbon -- (This is one of those things that just happened.)
2 squares bitter baker's chocolate -- (Not as weird as it sounds.)
Salt to taste
Sautee 1/4 of the garlic and onions until translucent. Add 1/4 of the meat, chile powder and brown. Salt the meat while cooking. Put into your chili pot. Cast iron is best. Repeat until all the meat is done. Put the rest of the ingredients in you chili pot and simmer for for a hour. As in any recipe, the amount of ingredients is variable. Add more of anything you want, especially chiles.
You now have the power. Use it wisely. The eyes of Texas are upon you!
Serves 6-8
* in the U.K. try using Cobra beer.
