Tomato Chili Recipes

TOMATO CHILI

Steps:

• Add peppers and cook until soft.
• Add beans and corn and cook 1 min, just to warm.
• Add blended tomatoes, chicken stock, cilantro, and cooked rice.

TOMATO AND CHILLI CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place all of your ingredients into a large, heavy-based pan and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Simmer for 1 hour.
• Using a handheld blender, blend all of the ingredients, but not so much that it becomes a puree.
• After simmering, bring to a gentle boil so that the mixture turns dark, jammy and shiny.
• Place into sterilized jars and place in the fridge for the night. Will keep for 6 weeks.

GREEN TOMATO BEEF CHILI

Steps:

• Season the steak (pretty heavily) and chop into cubes. Season ground beef also. Set aside.
• In a skillet on medium-high, throw peppers on there to heat up and roast for 10 minutes or until they have dark spots.
• In the meantime, chop up green tomatoes (about 5 large ones) and, if using ripe tomatoes, chop those up also. Once the peppers have started showing dark spots, remove from skillet and throw into food processor, along with the tomatoes and onions.You can add the paprika then to the tomato puree or wait until everything's combined.
• Add the cubed steak to the skillet and sear until it is just pink in the center.
• Throw into crockpot (or wherever you will make the chili).
• Cook seasoned ground beef.
• Add tomato/onion/pepper puree to crockpot (or pot on stove) and mix with steak.
• Finally, add the cooked ground beef.
• Once the contents are hot and have been boiling for 15 minutes, add the beans. If they are not canned, add between 1/2 and 1 cup of water to the pot. This will depend on if you want the chili to be ready quickly or if you want to let it simmer in the crockpot for a few hours. I think that the more you let it simmer, the better it tastes.

FRESH TOMATO CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes in a large pot over medium heat, and simmer 1 hour. Skim off any excess liquid or foam. Stir in the chile peppers, bell peppers, onion, vinegar, lime juice, white sugar, brown sugar, and desired amount of salt. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 3 to 5 hours until liquid reduces and thickens. Adjust seasonings to taste.
• Remove chili sauce from heat, and skim off any foam. Pour into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headroom. Adjust lids. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath.

NO TOMATO CHILI

Steps:

• Crumble the ground beef into a soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until browned. Drain off the grease, and season with salt to taste. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir for about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, and season with Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin and oregano. Cook and stir for another 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, and stir in the chili sauce, beef broth, kidney beans and cannellini beans. Cover, and simmer for about 35 minutes. Ladle into bowls to serve, and top with shredded Cheddar cheese and jalapeno.
