1 tbsp red cayenne pepper
2 can tomato sauce
3 tbsp new mexico (or other hot)

1 tsp louisiana (or tobasco) hot

Directions
Contributed to the echo by: Michael Gallagher Bob, here is my
variation of a chili recipe with beans in it. If the people here
don't like beans with their chili, I'll give a substitution. DON'T
change anything, for this is the way you should make authentic Texas
chili--not the cheap imitation stuff.
Wash beans in colander and soak overnight. Wash again next day, and
place in large chili pot. Cover with water about 1/2 to 3/4 inch over
beans; simmer, covered, for about 2-1/2 hours or until done.
If substituting beans with the lean beef sirloin, brown the meat 1
pound at a time, preferably in a non-stick skillet without any oil.
Place the meat in large chili pot. You will also need 1 more 12 ounce
can of tomato sauce and 1 to 2 10 ounce cans of fat-skimmed beef
stock. You will add the extra can of tomato sauce and the can of beef
stock in the next paragraph of directions.
Brown meat and place in large saucepan. Add all of the other
ingredients and spices. Mix well. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. When
beans are done, add contents of saucepan to chili pot and simmer for
30 to 45 minutes. Makes 15 to 20 servings, 225 calories each (205
with out the oil). Salt and pepper to taste.

The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes back into the far past, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an explosion in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
