Another week is complete, with a two-day trip into the city and the attached mad rush to complete the 101 things allocated to this trip. (The list of targets to be serviced never gets finished, and as fast as you pull one thing off, two get added.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back home, a local farm pinged me. It seems the butcher made a bit of a hash on one side of beef, and they had a large amount of stew meat offered at significantly reduced prices. Whilst I can not handle a full-side beef, I can take a few pounds of pasture-raised, grass-fed, organic stew meat for ground beef prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon picking up my beef, I can see it is truly stew meat: largish chunks of beef, some appearing to be close to filet and some close to brisket. I’ll need to sort out a proper cooking method for this, like, say, “STEWING.” (Sometimes I am so brilliant, I astound myself… Only with my denseness…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, harking back to a conversation with my apprentice (we were discussing curries), perhaps a Texas Curry would be the trick here. Let’s make Chili, and as a side dish, let’s say no to the nan, and yeah to another Texas favorite, Cornbread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One has to understand that chili originated in Texas, in San Antonio to be exact. Chili con carne or chili con carne meaning \u2018chili with meat\u2019, and almost always known as simply chili or chili, is a spicy stew containing chili peppers (sometimes in the form of chili powder), meat (usually beef), and often tomatoes and beans. Other seasonings may include garlic, onions, and cumin. The original dish originated in southern Texas with working-class Mexican women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geographic and personal tastes involve different types of meat and other ingredients. Recipes provoke disputes among enthusiasts, some of whom insist that the word chili applies only to the basic dish, without beans and tomatoes. Chili con carne is a frequent dish for cook-offs and is used as an ingredient in other dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chili originated from what is now northern Mexico and southern Texas. Unlike some other Texas foods, such as barbecued brisket, chili largely originated with working-class Tejana and Mexican women. The chili queens of San Antonio, Texas were particularly famous in previous decades for selling their inexpensive chili-flavored beef stew in their casual \u201cchili joints\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recipe will please many and anger many. The use of beans and tomatoes is really considered an adulteration of \u201creal chili.\u201d I’ll serve it with minced onion, shredded cheese, sour cream, cornbread, and an ice-cold beer.<\/p>\n\n\n
