The Great White West Canadian Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Put the chicken stock base, broth, and beans in a large pot (I like my Crock Pot).
• Simmer it for two hours, covered.
• Saute the onions in the oil until they are gently browned.
• Combine the onions with the spices, chicken, and other vegetables, and simmer for another hour or so.
• Add the cheese and sour cream, cooking until the cheese melts in the chili.
• You might want to serve the chili with more sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, cilantro, or cheese.
• The recipe serves about four people, but I always double it, because it tastes even better the second day.
• If you don't use fresh cilantro, you might want to double the amount you use.
• Also, I have found the garlic to be low, but you can tell by my name that I love to cook with garlic.
• It was also great to substitute some of the chicken broth with beer (preferably Mexican), if you add a few shots of tequila for added ummph!

Steps:

• Heat the oil in large pot or Dutch oven over moderate heat. Add the onion, celery, poblanos, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the meat is no longer pink about 2 minutes. Add the white beans, broth and oregano. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes.
• Add the hominy and salt and more cayenne pepper, to taste, and continue cooking, partially covered, 10 minutes longer. Ladle into individual bowls and top each serving with 1 tablespoon of yogurt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cilantro. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Steps:

• Melt fat, and brown meat, preserving the drippings in the pan and maintaining temperature at medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic, allowing onion to wilt somewhat.
• Add tomato sauce and tomato paste, mix well.
• Add seasonings, jalapenos and kidney beans, mix well.
• Add celery and allow celery to get to medium cooked texture.
• Add bell pepper pieces, and cook until only slightly crisp in texture.
• Serve with sourdough bread and crispy refridgerator dills.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown bacon and the beef or venison; drain. Add the seasonings; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, celery, onion, carrots and green pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 40 minutes. Stir in beans; cook 30 minutes longer.
