Turkish Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the seeds from the tomatoes, cucumber and red bell peppers.
• Chop into very fine pieces using a knife or a food processor.
• Drain excess liquid.
• In a salad bowl, mix all the ingredients together very well.
• Refrigerate.
• Serve cold with turkish bread.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot and add the carrots and sauté for about 6 min (add water if needed instead of using more oil).
• Then add the onion and sauté for a couple of minutes.
• Next add all the ingredients in except the garlic and parsley and sauté at high until it begins to boil, then reduce to low heat.
• After reducing to lower heat add the garlic (the garlic flavour penetrates the ingredients much better this way) and simmer until the carrots are done.
• Take of the heat and add the cilantro and serve with or over rice and a side salad.

Steps:

• 1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, chili powder, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• 2. Stir in tomato paste and chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more. Add turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until meat begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes-crushing them through your fingers into skillet-along with their juices and beans; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• 3. Ladle chili into bowls and serve with garnishes of your choice.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble turkey into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart as much as possible. Season with taco seasoning mix, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, and tomato paste, and mix until meat is evenly coated with seasonings. Continue cooking, reducing heat if necessary, until turkey is well browned.
• Pour in beef broth, and simmer to reduce liquid slightly, about 5 minutes. Add salsa, tomatoes, and green chilies, and continue cooking at a moderate simmer for ten minutes. Adjust the thickness at any time you feel necessary by adding water.
• While chili is still cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and green bell pepper, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and bell pepper is lightly browned. Add onion and bell pepper to the chili, and continue cooking at a very low simmer.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, and cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the zucchini to the chili, reduce heat, and continue cooking 15 minutes more. Again, adjust the consistency with water as needed.
• Ladle chili into serving bowls. Top with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar cheese, and serve.

Steps:

• Crush 1 garlic clove and mix with 3 tbsp yogurt, the lemon juice, 1 tsp tomato purée, half the spices, and some seasoning in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, toss, cover and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hr or overnight.
• Make the chilli sauce. Put 100g of the tomatoes, the whole red chilli, the remaining spices, garlic clove and tomato purée, plus 1 tbsp olive oil, half the red onion and the pomegranate molasses in a food processor. Add some seasoning and pulse until puréed, then set aside.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, and heat a griddle pan. Thread the chicken onto metal skewers or wooden ones that have been soaked, then wipe off the excess marinade. Skewer the remaining tomatoes on a separate skewer. Lightly oil the griddle with the remaining olive oil and brown the chicken on both sides, then transfer to a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 mins, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, griddle the tomatoes for 1-2 mins, turning halfway through so they have griddle marks on both sides.
• Serve the chicken and tomatoes on flatbreads with the remaining red onion, pickled chillis, the remaining Greek yogurt, parsley and coriander with the chilli sauce spooned over.

Steps:

• Using a large pan, heat the oil of a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and red pepper and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the minced turkey or chicken to the pan until cooked through and then add the chilli powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt, stirring well.
• Add the tomatoes, stock, kidney beans and sweetcorn. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the chilli thickens and the flavours come together. (Alternatively, add to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours.)

Steps:

• Cook and stir the ground turkey in a large pot over medium heat until crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, onion, garlic, and red wine. Season with chili powder, cumin, parsley, oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 2 hours. Stir the chili occasionally as it simmers. Remove and discard bay leaves before serving.
