TEX MEX BORDER CHILI RECIPE This is a recipe I obtained from an Estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Stator Estate in Wills Point, Texas in 1990. Ingredients:
3 medium tomatoes |
1 large bermuda onion finely chopped |
1/4 teaspoon dried mexican oregano |
2 teaspoons paprika |
5 large garlic cloves finely chopped |
4 pounds beef shank coarsely ground |
1 tablespoon bacon drippings |
4 scallions chopped |
5 green bell peppers chopped |
5 fresh serrano chilies chopped |
1 pound chorizo sausage |
4 medium garlic cloves finely chopped |
2 teaspoons salt |
4 tablespoons ground hot red chilies |
4 tablespoons ground mild red chilies |
3 tablespoons cumin seeds |
1 can beer |
1 cup water |
Directions:
1. Puree first four ingredients plus one clove of garlic in a blender or food processor. 2. Scrape mixture into large heavy pot and add beef. 3. Melt bacon drippings in a heavy skillet over medium heat. 4. Add scallions, bell peppers, chilies, sausage and remaining garlic. 5. Cook until onions are translucent and sausage is browned. 6. Place cumin seeds in a 300 oven for a few minutes until lightly browned. 7. Remove seeds from oven and crush with a mallet. 8. Stir vegetables into beef and tomato mixture then add salt, ground chilies, cumin, beer and water. 9. Bring to a boil over medium high heat then lower heat and simmer uncovered 6 hours. |
