- The first "chili" recipes appeared in West Texas at the turn of the century. They may have had their origin from old Mexican recipes, but since most cowboys couldn't read...or possibly for which matter, cook very good, chili most probably got it's start due to the availability of spices and other ingredients available in the area. A lot of ingredients available to us now were just not available then. Most chili consisted of beef, cumin, pepper, sugar, paprika, garlic, and masa to thicken. Tomatoes were seasonal and usually not available. Chili pwdr was not manufactured at the time...They used dry chili's (spanish for peppers)...most west texas cowboys were Mexican. Most of the original chili did not have beans due to the time required to soak and cook them...chuck wagons did not appear til later in history and even then, on most ranches, the cowboy was on his own and didn't have time to watch beans all day.
- The following recipe is based on the original recipes...
- CHILI
- In a large skillet, saute/fry meat in oil till browned. Add in water and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. In a small bowl, mix chili pwdr, salt, garlic, cumin, oregano, cayene pepper, black pepper, sugar and paprika. Add in to skillet.
- Simmer 30 min...cooking longer will cause spices to lose flavor. In a small bowl mix flour and masa. Wisk flour masa mix into chili...stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Bring mix back to simmer till thickened. Remove from heat. Serve over beans, rice, warm dogs, enchiladas, burritos, or possibly eat plain. Cheese (cheddar, longhorn, queso blanco,etc.) goes well on top.
- Note lack of tomatoes and beans... Give it a try.....KF
