Chili V2

Chili is the meal I do when i don’t know when I have no idea for a new meal. This time I decided to change it a bit to try some new flavors (and also less servings). This one is an impressive mix of flavors and spices.

Sorry for the shitty quality

Ingredients

• 1.5 kg ground beef (lean or extra-lean)
• 2 can red kidney beans (undrained)
• 1 can chickpeas (drained)
• 2 cans of tomato paste
• 1 onion
• 1 green sweet bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons chili
• 2 tablespoons dried garlic
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoons cumin
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon turmeric
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1 tablespoon coriander
• 1 tablespoon parlsey
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon hot salsa sauce
• 2 bay leaves
• 10 basil leaves chopped
• 1/2 tablespoon thyme
• salt and pepper up to you

Start browning (ie cook the meat until it’s brownish) the ground beef.

During this time, chop the onion and the bell pepper and put it in the slow cooker.

When the whole meat is brown, put it in the slow cooker (try to remove the juices).

Add all the spices (that almost looks like a painting !).

Mix everything and cook on low for 8h.

Pulled Beef

We made pulled pork earlier, seems fair to do the same with beef now !

With bell peppers

Ingredients

• 2 kg (4.4 lbs) beef roast
• 1 onions
• 6 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon celeri salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 tablespoon herbes de provence
• 1/2 cup coke (I’d recommend using beer or ginger ale instead)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha
• Optional : vegetables like bell peppers
• salt and pepper up to you

Chop the onion (and vegetables if you have some) and put it in the crockpot.

Trim the meat from any visible fat,  stuff it with the garlic cloves. Combine all the solid spices in a bowl and rub over the meat, place it in the slowcooker.

Mix all the liquids and pour it on the meat.

Cook on low for 10h.

I don’t really like the sauce with the coke so if I had to do it again, I will probably use ginger ale instead (I don’t like beer eh).
