| 1/2 | Cumin seeds |
| 1 1/2 | MSG |
| 1 1/2 | Garlic cloves |
| 1 1/2 | Water |
Recipe Instructions:
-
Soak beans: Begin by soaking the pinto beans in water to cover overnight. This step helps soften the beans and prepare them for cooking.
-
Cook beans: The next day, drain the soaked beans and cover them with fresh cold water. Simmer the beans until they are tender, which typically takes about 1 hour.
-
Add tomatoes: Once the beans are tender, add the tomatoes to the pot and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Prepare vegetables: In a separate skillet, sauté the green peppers in oil until they are tender. Then, add the onions to the skillet and continue cooking until they are soft and translucent. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
-
Enhance flavor: Add minced garlic and chopped parsley to the skillet with the vegetables, infusing them with aromatic goodness that will elevate the overall flavor of the dish.
-
Brown meat: In another skillet, melt the butter and add the chuck and pork. Brown the meat for approximately 15 minutes, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
-
Combine ingredients: Once the meat is browned, add it to the skillet with the onions and peppers. Stir in the chili powder, ensuring that it coats the meat evenly for a burst of spicy flavor.
-
Season and simmer: Cook the meat mixture for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Then, transfer the mixture to the pot with the beans.
-
Season to taste: Season the chili con carne with salt, pepper, cumin seeds, and MSG, adjusting the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
-
Simmer: Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to develop and intensify. After an hour, remove the cover and continue simmering for an additional 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.
-
Skim fat: Before serving, skim any excess fat from the top of the chili to ensure a lighter, more wholesome dish.
-
Serve and enjoy: Ladle the piping hot chili con carne into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro. Serve alongside warm tortillas or crusty bread for a satisfying meal that’s perfect for any occasion.
