RED CHILE CON CARNE



Red Chile Con Carne image

This recipe produces the most FLAVORFUL red chile con carne that rivals any Mexican restaurant. Since it's made in the crockpot and uses prepared store-bought chili paste, it's super simple and foolproof! (Finding the chile paste is half the battle...I use a prepared chili paste that is found in the freezer section of most Arizona grocery stores, but it may not be available nationwide [I've had trouble finding it online]. If you can't find it at your grocery store, you're better off trying to make your own with dried New Mexico chile pods softened in hot water and processed till smooth [no salt or anything else should be added]...there are instructions everywhere online. Enchilada sauce is NOT a recommended substitution as it has flavorings and salt added. You just want pure chile paste.) Yield amount is approximate.

CHILE CON CARNE WITH RED BEANS



Chile Con Carne With Red Beans image

We LOVE this chili! Notice that the beans and beef are cooked together for an hour before the onions, scallions, garlic, jalapeño, and an assortment of herbs and spices are added; then the mixture is cooked for another hour. This gives the dish a fresher flavor than adding all the seasoning ingredients at the beginning. Spoon this soupy chili over boiled rice, with a salad of Romaine and a creamy yogurt dressing for a refreshing complimentary taste.

Time 2h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces dried red kidney beans
8 ounces extra lean ground beef (10-percent fat or less)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups cold water
2 small onions, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (or 1 medium onion, 4 ounces)
6 scallions, trimmed, keeping most of the green, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 cup)
5 -6 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed, and chopped (1 tablespoon)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (2 teaspoons)
1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes, in sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
2 bay leaves
1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro stems
boiled rice
1/3 cup loose coarsely chopped cilantro leaf

Steps:

  • Sort through the beans, removing and discarding any damaged ones, and rinse in a sieve under cold water. Place the beans, beef, salt, and water in a stockpot, and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. (This will take about 10 minutes.) Reduce the heat to low, cover, and boil gently for 1 hour.
  • Add the onions, scallions, garlic, jalapeño, tomatoes (with sauce), thyme, cumin, chili powder, bay leaves, and cilantro stems. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, cover, and boil gently for an hour. (The mixture will still be somewhat soupy).
  • To serve, spoon the chili over the rice, and sprinkle the cilantro leaves on top.
