Carroll Shelbys Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Melt suet or heat the oil in a heavy 3-quart (or larger) pot over medium-high heat.
• Remove the unrendered suet and crumble meat into the pot. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally. until meat is evenly browned.
• Add tomato sauce, beer, crushed red chile, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoons of the cumin, and salt. Stir to blend and bring to a boil.
• Lower heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
• Taste and adjust seasonings, adding cayenne pepper.
• Simmer uncovered 1 hour longer.
• Stir in the cheese and the remaining 1/2 teaspoons cumin.
• Simmer 1/2 hour longer, stirring often to keep cheese from burning.
• I serve the chili with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese to garnish, and warm cornbread on the side.
• The cookbook actually called for 1/4 cup of crushed red chile pepper, but unless you have a taste for fire, use less! I use half that amount, and I really like hot food.

Steps:

• Cut the meat into quarter-inch cubes.
• Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the meat, stirring often, until browned.
• Transfer the meat to a kettle and add the onions and garlic. Cook briefly and add the chili powder, oregano, paprika, salt, cumin, tomato sauce and beer. Bring to the boil.
• Cover closely and cook over very low heat one hour. Add the cayenne pepper and cook two hours longer. As the chili cooks, skim the fat from the surface.
• Add the goat cheese and cumin seeds and Simmer, stirring, 30 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Add peppers and onions and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add canned tomatoes, sauce and water.
