Howdy Y'all,
Thanks again to everyone who sent me white chili recipes a couple of
weeks ago. I am entering a heavily modified version of a recipe that
Frank Hashek sent me off-list, into a Girl Scouts chili cookoff.
Here's the recipe I used:
White Chili
========
Part 1:
----------
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp New Mexico red chile powder
Juice of 4 limes
1 tsp sugar
Dash of kosher salt
Dash of black pepper
3 chicken breasts
Mix the first seven ingredients into a marinade and pour into a ziploc
bag with the chicken. Marinade overnight. Grill or broil the
chicken, being careful not to burn the chile powder. Reserve the
remaining marinade.
After cooking, allow the chicken to cool and chop it.
Part 2:
----------
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 carrots, chopped
2 small onions chopped
2 habanero peppers, chopped fine
4 mild peppers (poblanos would be good, but I used cubanelles because
I'd never used them before and they were lighter in color)
Heavy pinch of salt
Sweat the veggies in the olive oil in a heavy pan until they are soft
and fragrant.
2 lb. ground turkey
Meanwhile, brown the turkey in another pan. As soon as it is browned,
add the leftover marinade and cook it for anotehr few minutes.
2 14-oz. cans navy beans (approx. 4 cups)
2 14-oz. cans white corn (approx. 4 cups)
3 14-oz. can chicken broth (approx. 6 cups)
2 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
Add the chopped chicken, the cooked ground turkey, and the remaining
ingredients to the pan with the onions, carrots, and peppers. Bring
chili to a boil and then cover and lower to a simmer for about 1 hour.
It has turned out moderately spicy (glad I din't put in the 4
habaneros I had planned to), and a little redder than I expected.
We'll see how it goes. Last year I won an award for the spiciest
chili after I made the Firemen who were judging it cry. :)
Thanks again.
- Bill
