Do You Feel Lucky, Punk?

Well do ya? Well go ahead, make my chili.

Kinda Hot 5-Chile Chili
Serves 4-6

2lbs Ground beef (or Tofurkey or whatever)
1 diced onion
6 cloves minced garlic
4 Habanero peppers, minced
1 can Black beans
1 can Kidney beans
2 cans “Chili Beans” In spicy sauce (I used Kuners brand), undrained
3 cans “Chili Tomatoes” or even better “Tomatoes and Chiles” (Kuners brand), undrained
3 Tbs Cumin
2 Tbs Chili flakes
2 Tbs Chili powder
2 ts Cayenne
1 Tbs Oregano


Give the onion, garlic, and habanero a quick fry to get them going.
Add everything else except the meat. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 mins.
While the chili simmers, brown and drain the beef (like in a colander).

Add the beef to the rest, and simmer 1 hour.

Done.

An Alternative BBQ Sauce

Good on just about anything, except probably beef. It's really not that spicy either.

Mango-Habanero BBQ Sauce
Makes about 2 cups I think

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 mangoes, coarse chop
1 habanero, chopped
1 cup white wine vinegar
1/2t Thyme
Salt, Pepper


Heat oil in medium saucepan. Add onions, garlic, mangoes, habanero, thyme and vinegar and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Place the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. Season
