Instructions *** 4-3-22 so 18 years later i tried it again, very good, different, i used 6 oz tomato pasta,a 28 oz can sauce, only 2 cups of water and served it on some instant rice which was easier than trying to make 1 serving of pasta which would be the standard for this ********************** 3-04 different very good servered on low carb noodles used 1 1/2 tb unsweetened cocoa in lieu of baking chocolate **************************** This is a delightful spin on more traditional Chili recipes. This type of chili was originally developed by Greek immigrants. The Cincinnati Chili parlors (Empress, Gold Star, Skyline, etc.) are ubiquitous institutions of Cincinnati and Indianapolis. There are no beans in this chili and it is usually served over spaghetti. 2 to 2 1/2 lb. of ground beef 1 tbs. olive oil 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 2 tsp. ground cumin 3 tbs. chili powder 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper 1 tsp. ground allspice 1 tbs. salt 1 medium onion, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, crushed 1 12 ounce can tomato paste 1 15 ounce cans of tomato sauce 4 cups water 2 tbs. vinegar 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce (optional) 4 bay leaves 1 oz. block unsweetened baking chocolate 1/2 tsp. Ground cayenne peppers (optional) Add olive oil to a large (4-6 quart) pot over medium high heat. Add ground beef and the next 8 ingredients. Stir while cooking until meat is lightly browned. Add the tomato paste and tomato sauce along with the water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and chocolate. For more "fire", add the ground cayenne (careful). Bring to boil then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir, occasionally to prevent sticking. Serves six to eight with listed accompaniments. To Serve. Cincinnati chili lovers order their chili by number "3, 4, or 5-way". Make this a fun meal; cook spaghetti, shred some cheddar cheese, chop some onions, open a can of kidney beans. Let your guests (family) create their own final product. 3-Way. Serve chili on deep sided plate or shallow bowl over cooked and drained spaghetti. Top with finely shredded cheddar cheese. This is called a three-way. 4-Way. Sprinkle chopped raw onions on chili before adding cheese. 5-Way. Add cooked beans (kidney) to the top of the chopped onions before adding cheese. We hope you enjoy it! Notes: ********** RECIPE ENDS ******** This recipe published with BigOven, and can be imported instantly by BigOven users. Download your free trial at www.bigoven.com. |
