Double-Double-Double Chili

By
I was going to make the chili that won me the title of  'Grand Champion' at the Erickson's 4th of July party last year: my Chili al Diavolo, but I didn't have three hours to braise the meat or overnight to let the flavors develop.  So, I adjusted the recipe to have more flavor upfront versus needing to steep.  Still, this will be tasty tomorrow if I have any leftovers.  I'm calling it Double-Double-Double Chili because it has - two kinds of meat, two kinds of chilis, and two kinds of beans.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound of beef
1 pound of ground buffalo
onions
garlic
1 bottle of beer
2 shots of espresso
2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1 large can of diced tomatoes
1 large can of crushed tomatoes
paprika
cumin
sea salt
2 fresh poblano chilis
2 fresh goldspike chilis
1 can of black beans
1 can of white cannellini beans
molasses

PROCEDURE
Thinly slice the onions and crush the garlic. Sauté in olive oil till they start to soften. Brown the ground buffalo meat and ground beef with the onion-garlic mixture. Season with cumin, sea salt, paprika, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Add the beer, espresso, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and beans. Clean, seed, rough chop and add all the fresh chilis. Bring to a boil, then simmer for one hour. Add molasses and simmer for another hour. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese.

    @Christy, here's another recipe you might try with your venison. I made a venison soup for our Native American Thanksgiving feast this year. http://culinary-adventures-with-cam.blogspot.com/2010/11/corn-soup-with-venison.html

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
