What to do: make 10 gallons of chili (more or less) When to do it: Wednesday at 6:30, you can come as early as 6:00. Where to do it: At Steve and Pat's If you need a map or directions, see http://srh2pjh.crosswinds.net After mixing the chili we will need to let it simmer for a bit. We will have dinner prepared for anyone that can stay and eat with us while it simmers. Please bring ingredients to make 2 chili recipes of your choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is Carl's chili recipe Ingredients: 1 medium onion 2 cloves garlic 4 oz can diced green peppers (mild) 1 pound ground turkey 3 T chili powder (Eagle Brand or Adams) 1 1/2 T ground cumin 1 t black pepper 2 T of flour Carl's Chili Conspiracy Saute in a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil: 1 medium onion - chopped 2 cloves garlic - minced in a large skillet (or large wok) until thoroughly cooked Add one 4 oz. can of diced green chili peppers (mild for Relief Sale Chili) and 1 lb. ground turkey meat. Cook on medium heat until meat is browned, stirring regularly Add 2 - 3 tablespoons of chili powder (Eagle Brand and Adam's are the best. Don't use old or cheap chili powder and expect to have decent chili.) 1 1/2 tablespoon Cumin 1 teaspoon black pepper (as above... old pepper does not taste as good as fresh) Stir until everything is the same color, and continue cooking on medium heat, until it starts to get a little dry, then lower your heat a little. Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of flour over the whole mixture, cook over medium-low heat and stir until you have a stiff dry mixture, and uniform brown-red color. Add 1 cup of water, and stir thoroughly. Add one 10 oz. can of beans or home cooked beans in same size. Pinto beans or black beans are best. Check the can to make sure it is only beans, water, and maybe salt. Stir all together, and heat over medium heat until it starts simmer. Check for taste. Add salt in 1/2 teaspoon increments until the taste is right. Let it cool and pour into one quart containers to freeze and store. Remove from freezer about 2 days before and thaw in refrigerator or with several quarts in an ice chest. I usually made two of the above batches at the same time. That's how big our pan was. On relief sale day, heat the chili and add water as needed. I recommend about 1 cup per each recipe batch above. ----------------------- Steve & Pat Hochstetler 512-989-1321 srh2pjh@xxxxxxxxx ------- Austin Mennonite Church, (512) 926-3121 www.mennochurch.org To unsubscribe: use subject "unsubscribe" sent to amc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
