So you spent all summer eating light, fresh, cold food in order to stay cool and fit into your swimsuit ... but now that the cold weather is here you want something to warm you from within ?Of the many meals I like , Chili is one of the easiest to make and preserve. There are so many different recipes for making chili and everyone has their own take on what makes chili delicious. One thing is for sure , its kind of hard to screw up this dish !
Some people like it hot , in which case I suggest adding in some crushed red pepper flakes or even freshly cut hot peppers ! Some people like it a little less piquanté ; for that, I suggest adding cheese or ordinary yoghurt ( or sour cream if you dont mind the fat ) - it helps bring the spice levels down :)
They key ingredients , in my opinion , to help achieve a tasty chili are : Onions , carrots, celery , ground pork and ground beef , red kidney beans , tomato paste/juice and diced tomatoes and lots of chili powder !!!
You can add different veggies depending on what you like and add water in order to make more.
Make sure your chili simmers for a couple hours to get the best mixture of flavors :)
I always make a big batch and sometimes freeze portions to keep for a later day when Im out of ideas or sick with a cold. It can be made vegetarian too , so really its a meal that everyone can love :)
Happy chilly nights :) !!!
