I was looking around, and it occurred to me that there isn't a thread here for sharing recipes for non cannabis food. I'm always struggling to think of what to cook, so maybe this thread can help.
I'll start off.
Chili with Beans:
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey or beef
~3 tablespoons of soy sauce (if using turkey)
~1.5 tablespoons of worchestershire sauce
6 cloves garlic
1 medium size yellow onion
4 squares of dark chocolate
1 can diced tomatos
1 can dark red kidney beans
1 can red or white kidney beans
1 can corn (optional)
BBQ sauce
Ketchup
Spices:
2 teaspoons of cumin
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon of oregano
Salt to taste (optional, other ingredients are very salty)
Whole Chilis:
10 dried arbol chili's (use less or substitute with a milder pepper if sensitive to spice)
1 dried ancho chili
1 can Goya "Chipotles in Adobo Sauce"
Process:
1) In a large vessel, break up your dried arbol and ancho peppers, removing the seeds and stems. Boil water in a kettle, and pour over the peppers, with enough water to cover them and then some. Allow to sit and steep for 1/2 hour.
2) In a large pot, add cooking oil, and your onion (finely chopped). Sautee your onion until fully cooked. Then use a garlic press to add 6 cloves of garlic. Allow the garlic to cook with the onion until done but don't overcook.
3) Add your turkey, soy sauce and worchestershire sauce. Cook until browned NOTE: The soy sauce is a good way to make turkey taste more like beef. If using beef, cut back the soy sauce significantly.
4) Add the rest of your spices, and the 4 squares of dark chocolate.
5) Allow to cook for a little bit, then add your can of tomatos.
6) Once half an hour has passed, use a food processor to turn your dried pepper/ water mixture into a paste. Include the can of chipotles in arbol sauce (along with a little water to clean out the can), and pulverize.
NOTE: The canned chipotles add a very nice smokey flavor. The arbols add strong spice. The anchos add a very strong and rich earthiness. If arbol is too hot you can substitute with a more mild chili pepper, or just use fewer. The seeds add lots of heat, also...
7) Add the pulverized chilis to your pot, along with some water to clear out your vessel. Then add a squirt of Ketchup and a larger squirt of BBQ sauce to taste.
NOTE: The flavor will always seem weaker while cooking. Beware of adding too much salty or sweet ingredients - especially the BBQ and Ketchup.
8) Allow to cook down for a while until thick. Once finished, add your washed beans and corn if desired. Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, diced green onion, and corn chips.
I'll try and get some Egyptian / Syrian recipes from my wife....
