JohnJ Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 @Mallette That place I mentioned is called Lupies, great burgers about 2# each, background music that would please the most discerning rock-folk-country 60s-80s eccentric! Top40 wasn't played there. Had the TX version there and other places with the meat, peppers, garlic and some onion probably the stuff you mentioned the best was in Orlando somewhere. What I pictured above my mom called it chili-con-carne, and fed it to us. Mine isn't mild though, used the cayenne instead of j a p s this time. Fine ground corn meal with lime....... sounds nice! Yes mine just bubbles down think the bean stuff helps it get thick. Use a little corn starch in creole dinners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 chili con carne is the formal name...and simply means chilis with meat. Hence, the purist approach to adding much beyond chilis and meat. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Cool, folks get serious about corn meal or flour, heavy S&P or not for their fried catfish around here not to mention the fried chicken disagreements!

Mallette Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Well, when others are doing the cooking I say "Thank you very much..." eat it and shut up. Even badly fried catfish... But I am MUCH more rigid about catfish than chili. Same for shrimp, oysters, most American fish where I want cornmeal. Exception is proper British battering for fish and chips. Certainly good with that with a fine malt vinegar! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm no stranger to making " traditional " chili , with or without beans . But chili verde is my favorite . Roasted poblano , jalapeño and serrano peppers seeded and about to go for a spin . And roasted tomatillos , garlic and cilantro after a spin . Combine and add ground pork , onions and cumin . This is one of my staples in the fridge and is great as a slow cooking sauce for pork rib meat minus the ground pork . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a chili verde fan as well, but make mine with Hatch green chilis, serranos for a bit of heat and extra flavor. Stew beef or pork depending on what's around, and potatoes.

Mallette Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 So, what to do with the last of the chili? Enchilada time! Cheese and onion with the last of the batch on top. But then you have no chili! Time to make more... Different, purist approach this time. No tomatoes in the room. This is half New Mexico chilies and half Mexican arbol. Stewed together until the liquid is just enough to make a spaghetti sauce consistency when liquefied in a blender. That was then extracted through the centrifugal juicer to get the pure chili base. Onions, garlic, comino and meat ground with my grandmother's Keystone 20 hand grinder with the coarsest blade...1/3 pork, 2/3 round steak. Simmered an hour or two after browning, then left out overnight to "tighten" outside. Took the grease off this morning and added about a cup of water with four spoons of masa. Simmered 30 minutes and the house smells divine! Looking forward to supper. Cooked a pot of pintos last night and had a bowl for supper. Chili by itself tonight, then probably with some beans on Saturday for variety. Dave 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a guy a mile from here that would grow his own corn dry it and grind it to whatever consistency you want with an old fashioned stone, from flour to very course, we would usually have at least 3 different textures, it was really good. He also had a Blacksmith shop and a sawmill which was very handy to have local, he learned it all from his late dad. He kind of went off the deep end and I stopped going over there, don't know if he is still around? Fish and Chips with a good malt vinegar, I love that stuff, you now reminded me I have not had that in a very long time, always liked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Ha! You guys are killing me with all of this chili, non-chili, sloppers, and whatever else that's been posted here. I'll be taking succinct notes in Hope, I hope! Only thing I've got going for me, besides a craving for this, is the fact I did notice @Mallette had a photo darkroom timer sitting there in one of the pics! THAT I have! lolol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
