2 lb stew meat
1 medium onion
1 can tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp of chili powder
2 jalapeno chili's
2 cup pinto beans
1 salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Trim the fat from the stew meat, cut into bite sized chunks and
brown it. Chop the onion and the jalapeno chili. Smash the garlic.
Throw every thing but the beans into a pot, add water and simmer
until meat is tender.
Put the beans into a pot with water and bring to a boil, turn the
heat down and simmer till the beans are done.
Eat the chili and stomp the hell out of the beans.
Don't confuse this with "Rebel Chile" which also has the beans
stomped out of it.
I brought this recipe back from Mexico and it was said to be the one
that Mexico used when they taught Texans how to make chili at the
Alamo. I understand that to this day Texans do not put beans in chili.
TL: If it hasn't got a bean it must be Texas.
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into the far past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times used many spices, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs created an explosion in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
