oh yeah, a bit of oil to start things off
Directions:
Things heat up really fast on our
little gas stove, so I like to have
everything chopped and ready to go,
and all the cans opened and drained.
First thing is to fry up the garlic
and onion until it looks like it's on
its way to being soft. Then, throw in
the carrots. wait two minutes or so,
then toss in the peppers. After
another minute, put in the tomatoes.
This is a good time to get creative
with the spices (if you're that kind
of chef). Next come the beans, and you
can wait a few minutes if you like
before adding the tomato paste (if
you've got nothing better to do). The
longer you wait with this chili, the
more flavourful it becomes. you can
let it all simmer on medium heat for
around ten minutes, or until you're so
hungry you just can't anymore... it's
up to you! in this house, we make a
batch of chili to eat for dinner, and
then leave it on the stove overnight.
It's invariably even better the next
day, somehow, so it obviously gets
packed into all our lunches as we
disperse for class.
You can serve this with rice, corn
chips, beer, movies, card games, or
just plain ol' a la carte.
