On Chili Powder

Chili Powder in America is a spice mix commonly used in Chili and Mexican style dishes.  It’s most often made up of ground chili pepper, paprika, garlic, and cumin. Outside the US, chili powder is a pure ground chili pepper.  Confusing the two ingredients could be a total disaster. To avoid confusion for my worldwide audience, I decided to create my recipe without calling for Chili Powder in any form. I’ve flavored my chili with all the same flavors you’d find in the American spice mix, but with individual ingredients.

How To Make Chili con Carne From Scratch:

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil a large saucepan.   Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes.  Add the garlic and cook another minute. To do this mix a ½ teaspoon of baking soda with a tablespoon of water. Combine well and then mix it into the meat before cooking.

Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, and tomato paste and cook, stirring about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, beef stock, and beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Then add the parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens slightly, about 1 – 2 hours
