How to make a good chile? Any good secrets?

[Anonymous No.17372501]

>>17372491
Leave out the beans.

[Anonymous No.17372576]

Add a small amount of cocoa powder or real chocolate. Ignore jackasses who say oregano does no belong in chili. Cowboys picked up weeds with a similar flavor along the way. Feel free to use wild game, they shot anything along the way and threw it in the chili.

Are we going for authenticity or flavor? If we're going for flavor and texture you can ignore this faggot. >>17372501

Chili con carne is sloppa. The only way to make a perfect sloppa is to follow your heart. Want cinnamon and red wine in it? Go for it! Are you a degenerate that wants to add pineapple? Knock your self out!
If you ask for my personal opinion.

>quality beer

this but also leave out tomato. tomato is the gateway drug that leads you to beans.

I don't get why people always say this on here. Aren't you then just eating meat sauce basically? Do you eat it with something? Sounds unsatisfying and kind of childish honestly.

I’m curious about this, how does the beer impact the flavor? I’m gonna make another pot of chili in a couple days, beer sounds interesting. I haven’t used it in my cooking before unlike wine (for pasta sauces, pizza or meatballs). Most often when I’ve encountered the idea of beer in cooking it’s as part of the batter for fried foods.

I usually use a nice earthy ale or lager. It adds a beautiful background flavor that the palette would miss with its absence.

I think personally the only way to make a decent meat chili without any beams at all is to rely on other supporting ingredients more- nail the spices and seasonings, don’t be shy with onions and tomato. Lastly considering thickening agents as well as more elaborate topping schemes. Personally i like something like a 1:1 or 3:2 meat to beans ratio. The way we did it growing up in our house was very bean heavy to the point it was more bean stew. Supposedly my mom learned this recipe during the decade we lived in texas but I’m more than a bit skeptical. After trying it my way I’ll never go back. Also whole tomatoes you mashed yourself and black/pinto beans. Kidney beans are too meh to use entirely without variety.

is curry just meat sauce? you eat it with corn bread or chips or something. beaniggers keep pushing their bean stew when they literally don't even know what real chili is like. they assume real chili eaters are making an incomplete version of their fake chili when it's basically a completely different recipe with only like 3 ingredients in common.

I guess this was basically meant as a joke but honestly that could work fine I think. Might try one day if I’m out of canned beans.

True secret to good chilli is to brown and cook everything properly so you get the good flavor.

Shit chili is just throwing garbage in a pot, letting it simmer and arguing online wether it needs inconsequential details like beans or not.

Congrats, you now the secret to literally making every food ever taste good: COOK ITS INGREDIENTS FUCKING PROPERLY

Unironically sub out 1 lb of meat for 1 lb of pork chorizo.

also as many different chile peppers as you can. I usually soak 1 ancho and 2 guajillo chiles in hot water until soft. then I blend and strain through a sive into my chili.

beef, beans if you like them, a large white onion and some good stewing tomatoes as well. Maybe a can of Rotele for some extra zing?

spices I use a bit of cumin, coriander paprika, cayenne, garlic powder. no chili powder as you added all the chile stuff from earlier.

stew for minimum of 4 hours on simmer, adding liquid as needed.

Well this thread has more traffic than my own thread so rate my bowl o' red sloppa.
dried peppers used:
>guajillo
>arbol
>pasilla
>ancho
>cayenne
also I have knorr tomato/chicken powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and euro oregano (I don't keep mexican oregano around) simmered for 1 hour then 1 hour off burner then added a second dump of spices and boiled for 30 minutes. Thickened with corn flour.

[Anonymous No.17375092]

>>17375023
I only have mexican oregano around where I live. hows the mouthfeel when you thicken it with corn flour? I'd imagine it a bit gritty.

that being said, all those different peppers in there got my mouth watering

[Anonymous No.17375109]

Just be yourself

[Anonymous No.17375286]

>>17375023
> dried peppers
Exactly.
If you aren't basing the flavors around a variety of chilis made into chili paste, you can't possibly make a good chili. No good chili is made with chili powder.

An entirely vegetarian chili made with good peppers is better chili than one with only meat relying on store-bought chili powder and fucking tomato paste.

Try Pork mince, and adding red, yellow and green peppers.
Also some Mushrooms as well goes really nicely with it as well

I love the pepper puree I'm getting from guajillos and anchos. The heat is perfect, but the flavor of the peppers is getting masked by the sweet and sour flavors of the other ingredients. The other veg onion, garlic, tomato, a bit of lime. The spices probably are overpowering too. Should I render the chili down before adding the puree? Is there another way to bring these more front and center?

[Anonymous No.17377042]

>>17372491
Use a reasonably fatty, tough cut of beef. Get some brown on it before adding liquid. Use a variety of chilies for a depth of flavour, but make sure to have one or two smoked ones in there.

[Anonymous No.17377045]

>>17372697
You put chilies in your chili? What Texan faggotry is this? It should resemble wet steak tartare.

[Anonymous No.17377155]

>>17377028
Save at least half of anything you want front and center for the last 15-30 mins of cooking. Between the fat from the meat, the acidity of the tomatoes, and the potentially long cooking time, a lot of the flavours will become dull if you add the ingredients right away. I'd reserve most of your dried pepper paste for the T-30 min mark, with some garlic, cumin and mexican oregano at 15 or so.

>no beans when chili is just taco soup

[Anonymous No.17377180]

Give all the ingredients special attention before throwing them together. Pan sear your meat and deglaze the fond. Roast your garlic. Grill your peppers. Caramelize your onions. Toast your spices.

i used cubed chuck. rehydrated ancho, guajillo and canned chipotle. sautéed onions, beef broth, beer, cumin, cinnamon, whatever else sounds good, there’s no recipe really. i even used two ghost peppers in a huge pot of it and made it really spicy, probably too spicy. serve with cheese, sour cream and cornbread!

Make sure you add instant coffee and brown sugar for a southern chili.

Substitute beans with garlic cloves. It will be very garlicky but, you know what?, the garlicky the better in my opinion

imagine someone saying that tacos without cheese and lettuce is just chips and salsa. this ridiculous opinion would only exist out of ignorance of what tacos are actually like and the speaker would be ridiculed, yet this is literally the same situation with beanniggers.
