Chili with Beans
1 pk Pinto beans 3 tb New Mexico (or other hot)
2 lb Chili meat OR Chili powder
4 lb Lean beef sirloin, chopped 1 ts Dried oregano
In 1/2 inch cubes 2 tb Ground cumin
1 lb Low-fat turkey sausage 1 tb Vegetable oil
1 c Onions, chopped 1 ts Louisiana (or Tobasco) Hot
1 tb Garlic powder Sauce
1 tb Red cayenne pepper 1 cn Jalapenos, chopped
2 cn Tomato sauce 1/2 tb Salt
Contributed to the echo by: Michael Gallagher Bob, here is my variation of
a chili recipe with beans in it. If the people here don't like beans with
their chili, I'll give a substitution. DON'T change anything, for this is
the way you should make authentic Texas chili--not the cheap imitation
stuff.
Wash beans in colander and soak overnight. Wash again next day, and place
in large chili pot. Cover with water about 1/2 to 3/4 inch over beans;
simmer, covered, for about 2-1/2 hours or until done.
If substituting beans with the lean beef sirloin, brown the meat 1 pound at
a time, preferably in a non-stick skillet without any oil. Place the meat
in large chili pot. You will also need 1 more 12 ounce can of tomato sauce
and 1 to 2 10 ounce cans of fat-skimmed beef stock. You will add the extra
can of tomato sauce and the can of beef stock in the next paragraph of
directions.
Brown meat and place in large saucepan. Add all of the other ingredients
and spices. Mix well. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. When beans are done, add
contents of saucepan to chili pot and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Makes 15
to 20 servings, 225 calories each (205 with out the oil). Salt and pepper
to taste.

Chipotle Chiles
1 lb Ripe jalapenos
Recipe by: Garry Howard Americans who love the smoky taste and fiery bite
of chipotles have recently been hit with high prices and a scarcity of
product. With prices for these smoked jalapenos reaching $15 a pound
wholesale, home growers yearn to smoke their own. But the Mexicans have
been fairly secretive about their techniques, and none of the books on
chiles describe home smoking. After a trip to Delicos Mexico, I think I
have solved this mystery -- but the process takes some dedication. First,
let's look at how the Mexicans do it.
They use a large pit with a rck to smoke-dry the jalepenos. The pit
containing the source of heat is underground, with a tunnel leading to the
rack. The pods are placed on top of the rack where drafts of air pull the
smoke up and over the pods. The jalapenos can be whole pods or pods without
seeds. The latter are more expensive and are called "capones", or castrated
ones.
It is possible to make chipotle in the back yard with a meat smoker or
Weber-type barbecue with a lid. The grill should be washed to remove any
meat particles because any odor in the barbecue will give the chile an
undesirable flavor. Ideally, the smoker or barbecue should be new and
dedicated only to smoking chiles.
The quality of homemade chipotle will depend on the maturity and quality of
the pods, the moisture in the pods, the temperature of the smoke drying the
pods, and the amount of time the peppers are exposed to the smoke and heat.
The aroma of wood smoke will flavor the jalapenos, so carefully choose what
is burned. Branches from fruit trees, or other hardwoods such as hickory,
oak, and pecan, work superbly. Pecan is used extensively in parts of Mexico
and in southern New Mexico to flavor chipotle. Do not be afraid to
experiment with different woods.
The differenc between the fresh weight of the fruits and the finished
product is about ten to one, so it takes ten pounds of fresh jalapenos to
produce approximately one pound of chipotles. A pound of chipotles goes a
long way, as a single pod is usually enough to flavor a dish.
First, wash all the pods and discard any that have insect damage, bruises,
or are soft. Remove the stems from the pods before placing the pepperrs in
a single layer on the grill rack. Start two small fires on each side of the
grill with charcoal briquets. Keep the fires small and never directly
expose the pods to the fire so they won't dry unevenly or burn. The
intention is to dry the pods slowly while flavoring them with smoke. Soak
the wood in water before placing it on the coals so the wood wil burn
slower and create more smoke. The barbecue vents should be opened only
partially to allow a small amount of air to enter the barbecue, thus
preventing the fires from burning too fast and creating too much heat.
Check the pods and the fires hourly and move the pods around, always
keeping them away from the fires. It may take up to forty-eight hours to
dry the pods completely. The pods will be hard, light in weight, and brown
in color when dried. If necessary, let the fires burn through the night.
After the pods have dried, remove them from the grill and let them cool. To
preserve their flavor, place them in a zip-lock bag. It is best to store
them in a cool and dry location. If humidity is kept out of the bags, the
chipotles will last for twelve to twenty-four months.
Buen apetito!

Grilled Vegetables
Shepherd writes: "BBQing vegetables brings out their sweetness and imparts
a smoky, nutty quality that is extraordinarily delicious. Make them
whenever you light up the coals all harvest season."
"Choose colorful ripe garden-fresh vegetables, such as summer squash,
eggplants, onions and different colored bell peppers. Cut eggplant, onions
and squash on the bias into about 1/2" thick slices. Cut peppers into 2 to
3" strips or big scallops. About an hour or so before cooking, combine
vegetables with any good olive oil-based vinaigrette or use balsamic
vinegar and olive oil with added minced garlic, basil, pepper and salt.
"Prepare a BBQ fire, preferably using some fruit wood or mesquite chips.
When coals are evenly at the white ash stage, drain vegetables well and
grill on fine mesh BBQ grid about 4 to 6" from the coals. Grill as slowly
as possible until tender when pierced, turning several times and moving
vegetables around with a fork so that they cook evenly. A little charring
on the edges doesn't hurt them. Enjoy warm with or without a meat course,
and have crusty French bread to sop up the tasty juices."

1 tb Liquamen (sep. recipe) 1 Coriander leaf, chopped
1 tb White wine (optional)
1/2 ts Cumin seed, ground Pepper and salt to taste

Smoked Mashed Potatoes
8 Smoked Idaho potatoes; 1/2 c Cream or half-and-half;
-peeled -heated
6 c Chicken broth Black pepper; to taste
4 tb Butter White pepper; to taste
1 1/2 ts Salt
To Smoke Potatoes: The day before smoking (two days before serving) wash
and air dry the potatoes. If you wash them immediately before smoking, the
skin pours will be closed and the smoke will not penetrate.
Next day, smoke the potatoes for 2 1/2 to 3 hours at 225 degrees using
hickory if possible. Mesquite should be avoided. After smoking, while
potatoes are still hot, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate
overnight. The potatoes also may be frozen, peel on, for later use.
On serving day, peel the outer layer of skin from each potato. Peel only
the outer skin, not down to the white because a thin layer of brown smoke
discoloration should be left on the potato. The smoked potatoes may be used
for soups, chowders and stews.
Mashed Potatoes: Halve the peeled potatoes lengthwise and cut into 1/2 inch
slices. Place potatoes and 4 cups chicken stock in a large covered saucepan
over medium-high heat. As soon as broth comes to a boil, lower heat and
simmer gently until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add
additional broth if necessary.
Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Mash the potatoes with butter,
leaving some lumps for texture. Stir in cream and season with salt and
peppers to taste.

William Wight's Chipotle Chiles
Jalapeno peppers
Recipe by: William Wight I made my first batch of chipotles two weekends
ago and they tasted great. My Mexican-American friends at work gave them a
positive thumbs up.
How I did it:
Preparing the smoker:
I borrowed my neighbors Cajun Cooker II water smoker (borrowing is much
better than buying). His unit has two grills, one near the top and one
just above the water pan. I put 5 lbs of self-lighting briquettes in the
bottom, and set them on fire. I put 3 qts. of cold water in the water pan
that sits above the charchol pan. I bought a 3 lb. bag of mesquite wood
chips and soaked them in water while the briquettes got going.
Preparing the Meat:
I bought a fresh whole pork loin, cut it in half and rubbed it with a
smoker spice recipe (will post if anyone wants it) did the same with two
fresh turkey legs. I put the meat on the bottom shelf.
Preparing the chiles:
I picked them in my garden the morning of the smoking. About half of the
chiles were red. I washed them and cut off the tops, at the calyx. I put
about 2 lbs of standard Jalapenos and TAM Jalapeno (50:50) about two
peppers thick on the top shelf of the smoker. I prepared a second
simmialr-sized batch of Jalapas and Fresno chiles for the second batch.
The Smoking:
When the briquettes got going, I started to put a few mesquite chips on the
charchole. About every 15 minutes I had to add more mesquite as the smoke
would stop when the mesquite was consumed. I did the first batch of chiles
for 3 1/5 hours and removed them. I added the second batch.
At 8 hours (4 1/2 for the second batch of chiles) I took out the chiles and
meat. The pork loin was just about the best pork I've ever eaten and my
wife said the turkey leg was for sure the best she'd ever had.
After dinner, I put all the smoked chiles on two foil-lined cookie tray and
put them in the oven set at the lowest setting. I left them in the oven to
dry for about 24 hours. I tested the chiles until they were crisp and
would break when I squeezed one. I let them cool and put them into my
blender and chopped them to fine flakes/powder. Beware of the powder,
it'll make you cough big time! I them blended them all together and was
surprised how little I ended up with, about 3/4 qt.
My powdered chipotles have a very rich smokey flavor and are mildly hot. So
far, I have used them on tacos and I tried them sprinkled on top of cream
cheese spread on crackers. Wow, what a taste. I just hope the bottle of
powdered chipotles will last me until next season.
