Pork And Chickpea Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Coarsely grind red pepper flakes, peppercorns, and fennel seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.
• Generously season pork with salt, sprinkling more heavily on meat than layer of fat. Sprinkle with spice mixture, massaging into all spots so it adheres to pork.
• Roll pork as tightly as you can, then tie individual lengths of kitchen twine around roast every 1" or so. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour, or chill overnight.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10-12 minutes total. Transfer pork to a plate.
• Remove pot from heat and dump out fat. Add remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and heat over medium. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until exposed flesh turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in bay leaves and return pork to pot. Pour in wine and 2 cups water. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake, turning pork every 45 minutes or so, until pork is tender and pulls apart easily, 2 1/2-3 hours. Transfer pork to a plate and let cool slightly before tearing into big chunks.
• Return pot with braising liquid to low heat and add chickpeas and pork. Cover and cook until chickpeas and pork are warmed through, 12-15 minutes.
• Transfer chickpeas, pork, and braising liquid to a platter. Finely zest lemon over and top with parsley.
• Do Ahead
• Stew (without lemon zest and parsley) can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Add lemon zest and parsley just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Toss the spring onions with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a baking sheet; season with pepper. Broil, turning, until charred, 8 to 10 minutes (5 minutes for scallions).
• Meanwhile, combine the cumin, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Make a deep cut lengthwise down the center of the pork, cutting about halfway through. Open the pork like a book; cut crosswise into 4 pieces and season with the spice mixture.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on the bottom, 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 minutes. Stir in the reserved tomato juices, chickpeas and roasted peppers. Add the pork browned-side up; cover and simmer until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the pot. Stir the almond butter, vinegar and oregano into the chickpea mixture. Serve with the pork and charred spring onions.

Steps:

• Cook pork, scallions and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up meat as it cooks, until pork is no longer pink.
• Stir in chickpeas, hominy, salsa, 1⁄3 cup water, the cumin and salt.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 12 to 15 minutes to develop flavors.
• Serve over rice; garnish with radishes and cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat a small pan over a medium heat. Add the peppercorns, fennel, coriander and cumin seeds, and dry-fry for about 1 min, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Tip into a small food processor with the chilli powder and turmeric. Put the garlic in the pan and fry for 1-2 mins until flecked golden. Add the garlic and vinegar to the spices and process to a coarse paste.
• Put the pork in a bowl. Add the paste and mix with your hands to combine - it's best to use disposable gloves, as turmeric stains. Leave to marinate for 15 mins.
• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Heat oil in a flameproof dish and fry the onions until beginning to colour. Increase heat to high, add the pork and fry, stirring often, for about 10 mins until darkened. Add the peppers, tomatoes and sugar, and cook for 10 mins more until the tomatoes have reduced and the paste clings to the meat. Stir in the chickpeas and stock. Put on the lid, bring to a simmer, then put in the oven for about 1½ hrs until the meat is tender and the sauce thickened. Eat immediately with rice, or cool before freezing in batches for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• If using turkey, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the ground turkey for about 10 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until the meat is no longer pink. Remove the turkey meat and set aside, leaving oil in the pan.
• Place the onion, green peppers, and carrots into the saucepan, and cook and stir for about 10 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are tender. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and black pepper, and pour in the diced tomatoes, frozen corn, black beans, garbanzo beans, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Place about 1 1/2 cups of the chili mixture into a food processor, and puree for about 1 minute until smooth. Pour the puree back into the rest of the chili to thicken. Add the cooked turkey meat, and bring the chili back to a simmer over medium-low heat.
