A little Garnish: Let’s talk chili!  Recipe share…

***Shared with my son a long time ago….

The following is a rough estimate of how I might make chili on a given day…

Gather up the stuff:

• 1 ½ lbs good quality ground beef
• 1 ½ lbs good quality pork sausage
• 2 green bell peppers
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 large jalapeno pepper
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 celery ribs
• 1 large garlic bulb
• 1 TBSP Cracked black pepper
• 2 TBSP Salt
• 3 TBSP Cumin
• 3 TBSP Chili powder
• 6 bay leaves
• TBSP dried or fresh basil
• 30 oz can diced tomatoes
• 46 oz can tomato juice (might not need it all. See how it looks)
• 15 oz can black beans
• 15 oz can garbanzo beans (Chickpeas are the same thing)
• 12 oz bottle ice cold beer
• Optionally; sour cream, fresh cilantro, and shredded cheddar for toppings

Directions:*

Crack that beer and take a pull. You’re about to embark on a cathartic journey that will feed your soul as well as your body. 

Get out your biggest pot. You’re making a lot of chili today Samuel. I know you have a big cutting board.Get that out too. You’ve got some chopping to do. (If you want to use that food processor go ahead, but leave some of the vegetables out so you have some chunks for texture and aesthetics.- you wanna look good on Instagram, right?)

Heat the pot to medium high and drop in the meats and chopped vegetables,leaving out the yellow pepper and one green bell pepper. Add those later with the liquids. I love this part. Brown the meat and season it with everything but the bay leaves and basil. Once fully cooked, drain. Don’t put that down the sink! Pour the grease into a discarded can or jar and stick it under the sink like Grandma Rose did. You can throw it away once it solidifies. Don’t cook with it like your great grandma did. That’s gross and it’s not the great depression!

So now you have the base. Take a big bite and wash it down with that cold beer. Life is good. Does it taste like chili? If not, add more cumin!  Now add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil- stirring and drinking beer. Cover, turn the burner to low, and simmer for a few hours. Grab two beers and head to the backyard where I’m waiting with cigars. 

• Addendum :  Vincent recommends charring the vegetables in cast iron.  Yep!

Company We Review : Mamba Hot Sauce Jalapeño Fresco

Company Story: https://mambahotsauces.com/pages/about-us 

*******Mix a Bloody******

Mamba Jalapeño Fresco is a bright and flavorful sauce that balances tangy vinegar with the fresh, green bite of jalapeño peppers. Right up front, you get that sharp tartness, followed by a medium heat that lingers just enough without overpowering. Beneath it all, there’s an earthy depth thanks to the red miso and cardamom.

Quick note on ingredients:

• Cardamom is a fragrant spice often used in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. It has a slightly sweet, herbal, almost citrusy flavor.
  
• Red miso is a fermented soybean paste, common in Japanese cuisine, that brings savory “umami” richness.
  

The 5oz bottle retails for $9.99, which makes it a bit pricier than everyday hot sauces, but you’re paying for some unique ingredients and a more complex flavor.

Who should buy it:

• Hot sauce fans who enjoy medium heat and want something with more depth than just peppers and vinegar.
  
• Foodies looking to elevate simple dishes like eggs, tacos, or grilled vegetables with a tart-spicy-umami punch.
  
• Anyone who likes experimenting with gourmet or globally inspired flavors.
  

Who should skip it:

• People who want extreme heat—it’s not going to blow your head off.
  
• Those who dislike vinegar-forward sauces.
  
• Budget-conscious buyers who prefer larger bottles at a lower price point.
  

Overall, it’s a lively, flavorful hot sauce that brings more than just heat to the table.
