It's that time again - Chili

[McWatt]

I highly recommend making a paste from a large quantity of dried chiles and then building your chili around it. For instance:

Get about a quarter pound of dried anchos and remove the stems, then toast them one at a time by slicing each open and pressing it down on a hot, unoiled pan until the skin blisters. After toasting, rehydrate them in a large bowl of water for 15 minutes. Then remove the wet, toasted chiles and add to 3-4 cloves of toasted garlic and some of the chile-water in a blender. Puree.

Now build your chili as desired. The anchos will give it a deep, smokey, complex and spicy unifying flavor.

Weres the chile beans and the Kidney beans , That does look good . But without Chili beans Dried and Kidney beans dried it just isn't chili

What is a chili bean?

My first batch in 8 months. I can't find all the same ingredients here, so it doesn't quite match up to my expected taste.

and the hotter the better.


and for fucks sake chili does not have beans!

Since when does chili not have fucking beans in it?

I need some chili recipes, STAT.

ok, beans sucks. they provide no taste, at least nothing beneficial, and their texture is horrible. if you aren't struggling to afford meat to add, you don't need beans
