Scott Bakula posted:Chilli in the UK is generally absolutely crap for all sorts of reasons, the main one being I've never met anyone who doesn't just use standard supermarket chilli powder. This is largely due to the variety of dried and fresh chillis being fairly non-existant outside of searching online or very rare specialist shops. Yeah, this. As a brit, what passes for Chili in the UK is pretty grim. I'm lucky enough to be able to get a bunch of different chilis nearby to make my own powder, but everyone thinks I'm weird for not making my chili with minced beef :/

I'd like to make some chili that is delicious, but not spicy, because my wife is sensitive to hot stuff. I can add my own heat to it after the fact. Most of the good (red) chili recipes involve a fuckload of peppers and chili powder. I've seen the canned chipotles in adobo mentioned several times but I don't really know how hot those are. Any suggestions on how I can make a non-spicy chili without it ending up bland?

You just need to start with a base that isn't excessively spicy and add in your powder over the course of cooking, making sure to taste it regularly. Unless you are throwing in handfuls of habeneros, most of the heat is probably going to be from the powder. Start with something like anchos and jalepenos that are fairly mild and work your own blend up from there.

Mr. Wiggles posted:And beans. Beans are very important. I am slowly coming around to beans but only in ground meat or sausage heavy chilies. And yes, a more accurate statement would have been "beef + spices, of which fresh or dried chilies should be the main focus". Mushroom are still stupid and tomatoes are missing the point.

God forbid anyone put venison, pork, onions, tomatoes, chocolate, or anything else in their chili. Sometimes I even use celery, carrots or broccoli stems. I can almost hear the cries of goons passing bricks right now.

The one true chili recipe (tm) is meat + meat liquid + chili peppers. Anything else is insidious anti-chili.

As in interruption to the 8th "real chili" convo, I have a chili cookoff coming up in two weekends. Got 3rd last year, and 3rd the time I participated before (2 or 3 years before last). Rather than recipes, I'm looking more for your witty/punny chili team names and themes! Last year we were Chili Chili Bang Bang as a last minute name. Time before that we had a Pokemon themed team and made Charizard Chili which was super lame but hey we still got 3rd. If you want to give chili cookoff advice that is cool too. We can prep and season the night before but no cooking. 4 hours cooking time. There is a judges pick and a peoples choice. Our recipe last year was something like this: Stew meat ground beef some different chili powders (Central Market has some decent ground you can buy) chopped chilis (various, including Hatch) bell peppers habanero ghost chili onion, garlic cumin this milk stout beer some chocolate brown sugar maybe chicken stock or something It was good, nice and chunky. Since then my recipe has really evolved and I don't use bell peppers much anymore (unless its specifically for my wife) and ground beef not as much. I made some "traditional" chili last, with just stew meat and pork shoulder (close to one of the recipes in this thread) and it was good, but man did it cook down. It was awesome. Not sure if I can pull that off in 4 hours though. We're currently leaning towards a similar recipe with improvements. Will probably ditch bells for chilis, possible ditch the ground meat, maybe add bacon. Minor tweaks like that. Excited for chili season.

I have a hard time seeing why the stew meat version is so much better, it's just different. I use beans in both is great though, I loving love beans and nobody can stop me!

Remember that your chili is not for lactose intolerant if it's got a milk stout in it, those are sweetened with lactose.

If you're intolerant creamy things my chili is probably not for you. @Tuckfard: I like your thinking but I worry a bit about your nontraditional additions. I find that *one* of those things is good. More than one and you just muddy the flavor of the meat. Ingredients like that are: chocolatey beer, wine, chocolate, molasses, coffee, warm spices like cinnamon, etc. That's just my opinion though.

Just made chili with moritas, anchos, puyas, New Mexican chilis, molasses, beer (homebrewed ESB!), paprika, pinto beans, some weak coffee, bacon and about four pounds of ground venison. Feels good. Go Pack, Go! edit: gently caress, everyone go get a big bag of moritas at your local mercado. icehewk fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Sep 14, 2012 |

Then there would also need to be a chili bible written by vegetarians that says the exact same thing as the constitution on one page, the opposite on the next, and everyone can selectively quote it at one another.
