AUTUMN/WINTER ESSENTIALS: CHILI, CHILI SPICE MIX
I use chili spice mixes in a lot of recipes; however, this is the mix that I like to use when making a nice pot of chili. And, as I pen these words, we are only a scant 2 days until Autumn. It has heat, it as kick, but it will not bowl you over. It is a great spice mix with plenty of hearty flavor to keep you warm on those cold...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. If you do not have access to dried chilies, you can always use the store-bought, pre-ground variety. However, Amazon does sell these items, and the mix will taste better if you use whole chilies and grind them yourself.
- 3. If you want the mix to have deeper, richer flavor, after you stem and remove the seeds from the chili's, place them in a hot dry pan for a bit. The heat will bring out more of the chili flavor. Or, you could put them in a 250f (120c) oven for about 20 - 30 minutes.
- 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 5. Cut the chilies open and remove the seeds and the stems.
- 6. Add all of the ingredients to a spice, or really good blender (I use a Vitamix).
- 7. Mix until a powder. Blend-Baby-Blend.
- 8. Store in a glass jar with a good lid, in a cool dry place, as you would any other spices.
- 9. PLATE/PRESENT
- 10. Use in any recipe that calls for chili powder, but especially a nice pot of chili. Enjoy.
- 11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
