It's a tangy drink, if you live in a diverse enough area you can get it at asian food marts, it comes in carbonated and uncarbonated styles but I prefer it uncarbonated.


It might be sold under the new name calpico in your area because calpis sounds like cowpiss and Americans are immature.



I really like it.

OK thanks, I know what Calpis/Calpico is just wouldn't have thought to cook with it or to call it juice.

I can't imagine cooking with it, that sounds weird as hell. Especially in chili. It's nowhere near sour enough to be subbed in for lime.

My most recent chili wasn't very hot. I tried 3 Scotch Bonnets but they're just not that hot from where I get them in north east England. I had 5 de arbols and could use more I suppose and half a tin of chipotle's in adobo since I didn't want to use an entire tin at once. Any recommendations or am I stuck with what I've got?

How much meat was that? That sounds like no chiles at all.. When I make chili with 5-6 pounds of meat I usually use 5-6 habaneros, 8 or so serranos, a fistful of Red Fresnos, and 6 or more mild varieties, like poblanos or Anaheims. I'll also use 2-5 good tablespoons of homemade chile powder.

If you want it spicier you should add more chiles.

Using a coffee grinder, I make my own chili powder with Guajillos, Chipotles and ancho chilis. Try doing something like this, you'll be surprised at the difference.

In my opinion; chipotles are some of the best chilis to use as a base for powder. They add smoky and spicy flavors, while other chilis will add other background flavors.

Scott, you should try growing your own bonnets. Google has wonderful tips on growing your peppers hotter. A good friend of mine grows chilis year round in doors, and he grows some of the hottest peppers I've ever encountered, some are quite frankly terrifying.

I'm going to be making a new batch of chili soon. I have a rough outline but I want to know if you guys have any advice for not making a bowl of brown.

Meat:
3.5 lb stew beef
1.5 lb chorizo

Spices:
Dried chiles: negro, pasilla, ancho, mulatto, guajillo, unlabeled small red chiles from asian market (medium heat, IMO). Even mix but light on red chiles, about 5 tablespoons total.
Non-chiles: fresh ground cumin (~1 tablespoon), salt, pepper, cinnamon (~1.5 teaspoons)

Vegetables:
7 jalapenos (seeded)
7 habaneros (seeded)
small can of chipotles in adobo, blended
large white onion
5 cloves garlic

Liquid:
Beef stock
Bourbon to de-glaze
Liquid smoke



Basic plan is to sear beef and chorizo, de-glaze with bourbon, saute onions/garlic/peppers, then basically dump everything in. (Essentially Doom Rooster's process on page 5.)

I tend to eat the chili by itself, or with some sour cream/fresh onions/cheese. To that end, my goal is to create a brighter and spicier chili than I have been.

I finally got around to making this recipe; also hammered down the specifics for predictability. The chorizo seemed to add enough saltiness that no further salting was required. I ended up using a lot less cumin than I usually do because it smells completely different when freshly ground. I think it actually might be a key ingredient toward what I was looking for, though. Felt no need to add liquid smoke.

Overall it has a medium-high heat that bites the tongue pretty nicely, along with the duller heat from the chipotles and dried chiles. Flavor was spot-on thanks primarily to the chorizo and fruitier assortment of dried chiles.

Next time try rehydrating dried chipotles instead of adobo. The flavor is much MUCH better. I refuse to use canned chipotles anymore.

Contains tomatoes, beans, marmite, soy sauce, and anchovies: therefore not chili. Sounds like a decent spicy soup though.

I decided this morning that the way to beat this Colorado cold and my current head cold is a big pot full of chili, to wit:

4oz anchos
4oz Anaheims
A couple of chipotles (my boyfriend is a wimp :saddowns:)
Oregano, garlic, cumin
1 bottle of homebrew red ale
A shitload of chuck

I'll let y'all know how it goes.

I am trying to eat everything in my freezer and I have found a pound of cubed goat and a pound of lamb. I know the goat will chili up real good but has anyone ever tryed it wih lamb? I have like two pounds of dried new mexico chilies and was thinking of buying a pile of habs and going with that. My fear is that this is a "waste" of the lamb but I am not sure what to use to bulk out the goat meat.

Well lamb loves chili peppers, and it's got a strong enough flavor that I doubt you could totally cover it up that easily. I'd go for it, goat/lamb chili sounds great.

I am going for it, the chilis are rehydrating now and the meat is thawing. I will hopefully make it tomorrow after work.

EDIT:


The chili paste. It came out to about 3.5 cups, which should be enough for 2lbs of meat. I dont want to go crazy on the heat as I want the goat/lamb flavor to come through. As it stands now the paste is very fruity and earthy with little to no heat so I think a few habs will round it out perfectly.

What are people's thoughts on using kashmiri chilis? I haven't seen them mentioned yet.

Apparently they add a really rich red colour to any dish they're added to. On a personal level this is desirable to me - the redder my chili looks the more appetising. I've never actually managed to get my hands on them so maybe the flavour is all wrong or something. I am going whole hog and making home-made beef stock and using buffalo meat for my next chili, so I was thinking of perhaps debuting kashmiri chilis as well if they are in fact suitable.

They do give a nice colour if you use enough... I use a cup of dried ground Kashmiri chilli powder to make vindaloo (proper vindaloo doesn't have tomato in it, it becomes red just from the chilli) but they have almost no heat and relatively little flavour... It behaves more like paprika than proper chilli.

1lb of goat
1lb of lamb
3.5c of chile paste, made mosts of rehydrated New Mexicans.
1 onion
pile of garlic
maybe 1/4c fresh ground cumin
maybe 1/8c organiao
salt
pepper
about 8 jalapenos, deseeded and sliced
about 12oz of Iniquity Black Ale
maybe 1/2c of beef stock to thin it a bit


I havent made chili from a paste in forever and never without sausage or some other loose meat added. I hope to hell the meat breaks down enough to fill it out. Otherwise I am going to make enchilada filling out of it.

Looks pretty amazing. If you aren't anti-bean, I think pintos or hominy would be awesome in there. Otherwise, you will have an excellent bowl of red meat. Enchiladas...mmm. That's an idea.

Beans are only OK in ground meat chilis where they add a needed firm texture.

This one seems to be coming along well:



The meat still needs a bit longer before it breaks down enough but the flavor is right on. I am always so proud when I don't over spice things to the point of pain. Honestly though this is not super meat heavy, most of it is the chili pepper paste.

I would probably freeze most of that and use it as a chile sauce in burritos, empanadas, enchiladas, etc. Maybe take a portion and stick rehydrated dried peppers in it to make your own chipotle in adobo sauce analogue (but neither chipotles nor adobo sauce).

We don't have a collection of chili recipes from this thread in one place do we?

I'm looking to make a batch this weekend and it would be very helpful.

Or if anyone has any recommendations I am looking for a recipe that has medium heat, beans, and possibly small steak/beef chunks.

I've got a good sized bottle of amaretto that I picked up for making tiramisu, which I don't even make that often, so I was looking for other ways to use it in cooking. Recently, I've been making chili on a regular basis, due to having recently learned how to make it, being able to buy the ingredients cheaply in bulk at Costco, and living in a tiny apartment with nothing but an induction hot plate to cook on (so all of my meals need to be single pot).

I was wondering how good/terrible an idea it would be to cook chili with amaretto (edit: and how much would be appropriate for a recipe using 2lbs of meat.) I already cook my chili with dark chocolate and italian-roast coffee; so I would effectively be making a tiramisu-themed chili if I tried this. In case it matters, the base of my chili is ground sirloin and black beans.

Pressure cooker? I made some shameful ground beef, chorizo and canned bean quick chili last night in under an hour. It was still good. If you're not using tough meats, it doesn't have to simmer for hours.
