It's the middle of winter, it's cold, and what works better to warm the stomach than a nice cup of chili? While this may be a refined version of the first spice mixes I conjured up it's too good to keep to myself. Don't just limit it to chili stew mind you, it's good any time you want some added zing in a family meal that you just can't get from store-bought chili powder . Ingredients:
2 tablespoons dried ancho chile powder |
1 tablespoon hungarian paprika (szeged paprika if you can get it) |
3/4 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper |
3/4 tablespoon ground guajillo chile pepper |
1 tablespoon mexican oregano |
1/3 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin |
1/2 tablespoon turmeric |
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder |
2/3 teaspoon ground cloves |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients and grind to a fine powder.
2. Store in glass or plastic spice jar in the fridge for up to 6 months (storing in the fridge, while not critical, helps preserve the true flavor of the chili peppers).
3. Use just as you would in place of store bought chili powder; you won't believe how much of a difference it'll make.
4. Enjoy.
