Try adding in some shaved dark chocolate and/or lots of cheese/sour cream. Even sugar and vinegar can help cut the spice. spicy chocolatey chili can be quite tasty.

You could also put it on rice, make that poo poo last forever. I made chili yesterday with pork and beans, because I'm poor and the whole crock-pot of roughly a gallon came out to ~$5. It came out pretty well considering I was just eyeballing the seasonings. Probably should have added a bit more pork, trimmed the pork I did have, and used one onion instead of one and a half. I'm going through that bag of chile powder pretty quickly, so I'm going to be able to get into these whole chiles pretty soon. And once I'm done with those, I found a Tienda near here that has an actual selection, rather than just one kind of unspecified red chile. Am I crazy to consider not putting tomato paste in my chili next time? I really prefer the spicy, meaty taste to the tomato taste.

Geez...did someone die or is summer the off-season for chili? Anyhow - I have two basic chili recipes, a Texas style (for when I feel like doing a lot of work) and a Midwestern style (for when I feel like letting my crockpot do a lot of work). Midwestern version uses ground meat (pork, actually). Regarding Midwestern style, I just got a food processor and I'm curious about grinding my own meat with it. Has anyone had experience with that? Does it matter with regards to chili? Unrelated: I was at the local farmer's market the other day and spotted some curious-looking fresh chiles. They're about two inches long and shaped like jalapenos. They are orange (exactly like an orange bell/sweet pepper) in color though. The person working the stall didn't know what they were (she's the animal person) but offered me one to check out. Very hot. Somewhere north of a hotter strand of jalapeno. Never found a hot orange chile that wasn't a habanero (or scotch bonnet I guess) so I'm interested in identifying it. Next week I'll try to go back and see if they have someone more knowledgeable working. I'd definitely put them in a salsa or a chili.

Could be an aji amarillo? (caps. baccatum). Though I grew a orange caps. annuum chilli once called Topaz, it's an F1 but it was from Europe. Assuming you're in the USA, then it could be a caps. annuum orange numex chilli too. (New Mexico state university creates or refines many new varieties of chillies and sell them under the Numex name/brand). I think I had one like that once, but can't find it in my seed collection, maybe "numex sunrise"? Numex usually stick to the milder heat caps annuum chillies. I think my topaz was around serrano heat level, not down there in jalapeno territory heat level like numex chillies often are. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Jul 25, 2015 |

All good guesses but if google is to be trusted, none of them hit the mark. It did peripherally lead me to this though: https://www.victoriananursery.co.uk/Chilli_Pepper_Seed_Jalapeo_Numex_Piata/ The Jalapeno Numex Pinata resembles it superficially and supposedly has more heat than a standard jalapeno, so that's my best guess.

Yeah, for them you'd have to pick them before they turned, caps. annuum just want to be red. The topaz is an orange caps. annuum because it's a f1 hybrid, ie self collected seeds may not be orange and could do anything. Even in Europe (Hungary) where they grow paprika and other caps annuum chillies to be black, in the end they turn red, they just develop them so they stay black for a long time before red so there's enough time to pick them while black. While caps. baccatum are predominately orange or yellow (aji amarillo, aji lemon, aji pineapple, aji limo), and caps. chinense are every colour (orange habanero, red 7 pots, scoth bonnets and trinidad scorpians, yellow burkinas, fatalli, plus choc/brown varieties), plus being such a cross breeder. Chillies are pretty fascinating in their 5 sub species plus how they have spread in the past 500 years and become so ingrained in cuisine around the world, plus they mutate so much.

Hi everyone, I'm a complete novice to cooking in general but decided to make the first chili recipe on the first page today (Iron Leg's). Am I supposed to leave it covered or uncovered during cooking?
|
# ? Aug 22, 2015 20:22 |
|
Depends on the consistency. If it's soupy, cook it uncovered. If it gets to the right consistency, but the meat isn't tender enough yet, cover it.

if you dry it out and have a long time left to cook just add a small amount of water and mix it in

I've always liked stouts in chili and stew but sometimes they can be a bit too strong. While I like chocolate stout, I prefer unsweetened chocolate for that kind of dark taste. Ales can be good but are ususally way more subtle. I've had good results with Newcastle actually. It adds a very mild bit of sweet and nuttiness

I've settled on using porters in chili. Stouts seemed to make it slightly bitter or some other flavor I didn't care for. The ales are okay and a nice sweet ale gives a mild bump in flavor. But porters seem to hit the sweet spot of adding good flavors without making the chili taste weird.

I like a thick, smokey porter and also a shot of tequila for sweetness. Also - I recently grabbed a big bag of whole dried kashmiri red chilis for use in Indian food and got to thinking - anybody ever used these guys in chili? Maybe mixed with some other, more traditional peppers?

I chilied again. This time I used cubed beef heart instead of stew beef. It tastes great, but almost a day of simmering only made it tender instead of fall apart. Next time I'm going to pressure cook it first. Agreeing with porters for chili. It's so good I don't even use beef broth anymore. Chili paste + fresh chilies + beer gives enough moisture. Also Cincinnati chili is great, gently caress the haters. 5 ways 4 lyfe!

I've never tried a chili with a bock or porter, but I can imagine it would be a great choice. I think the yeast coopers use in their ales are much too fruity tasting. Back in the 1990s a local aussie brewery made a bock that was the world's greatest beer IMO. Unfortunately the brewery caught on fire or went bust, or went bust and mysteriously caught on fire, so it was lost to me.

Beef heart is super duper duper lean so long simmers don't really do much for its tenderness. Heart is more akin to a quick-cooking steak than a braising cut, like chuck.

The problem with saying porters / stouts/ whatever style does a particular thing is that there are huge variations across each style in flavor profile. E.g. a stout can taste very choc-lately, or can taste more milky or can be neither. Or even within chocolate stouts- some use actual chocolate (cocoa solids usually) and some just use "chocolate" malt which is just barley that has been toasted for a longer time. In addition beers have a much wider range in alcohol content (3- 11+ %) but I doubt the alcohol content matters too much or even at all for chili.I eat baby skin posted:While I am not an expert on this, I think you were actually correct and the person that corrected you without knowing what they are talking about is the retard: Also stouts are a type of ale!

Exciting chili recipe: I was up in northern MN with limited supplies but I did have some Chuck steak and an onion that I'd picked up on the way, Cayenne, garlic powder, a little cumin, black pepper, and salt. Also some seasoned vinegar from the mid 90's (This is in 2010). The stove was barely functioning and the spices I had were decades old and had almost no flavor. It was 20 miles or so to town and I didn't feel like driving. I seared off the cubed meat, threw everything else in with enough water to cover, and let it barely simmer covered for about 5 hours, adding water as needed. It actually turned out to be incredible chili. If you add enough Cayenne and time, chili is always good.
