I know you're convinced that a little cinnamon improves your chili.
You are incorrect on this conviction.
Chili without beans is just spicy spaghetti sauce and I will die on that hill.
Beans belong in chili.
Beans are the foundation of chili. You can remove all the meat from a chili and still call it chili. You cannot remove all the beans and still call it chili.
Yes: Pinto beans are called chili beans for a goddamn reason. But also kidney beans in the mix (and black beans at least) are delicious too.
I can't find good kidney beans (all the ones I find, their skins are too tough compared to the other beans) so I use navy beans instead. Also pinto beans. I can't remember the third but it's a three bean chili dammit who ever heard of a two bean chili
Beanless chili only works as a hot dog condiment. I don’t see the point otherwise
You put the Peeps in the chili, they make the chili taste... bad.
I came here looking for this and I knew Lemmy would come through for me. Thanks for passing your spark forward.
Put the peeps in the chili make it taste.......... Bad.
If you use cinnamon and cloves in chili, the cinnamon and cloves should be almost undetectable. The spice is meant to provide a warm undertone.
Realistically, if you want to properly experience it, forget adding cinnamon and add good quality chorizo. It has cinnamon, but brings a lot more to the table.
Wait is that why I love chorizo I fuckin love cinnamon
I honestly had no idea what was in chorizo. I had been making chili with it at home and it came time to make it for work, I stopped by the market near work and they didn't have any. I was all "FINE!, I'll make my own" and looked it up, there are TONS of variations. The one I went for was basically vinegar, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and most of the spices I already use in chili.
One of my favorite taco shops made one that was very hot and just a touch sweet the cinnamon was forward which I didn't care for at first, but it ended up being amazing, it was also processed fine like round beef. I've been trying to replicate that for a while.
So any decent garam masala will work?
You know, I've never tried it with chili, but I'll bet it would be wonderful. I'm thinking the cardamom's going to get lost really quickly, I would probably add it once at about the middle of the cooking, and then lightly dust it again at serving for the aroma.
Whatever dude. My chili, my choice.
Dude the election was clear. your chili my choice.
Beans belong in chilli and you can wash the cast iron in the dishwasher
I agree, but then they call that slop they put on spaghetti in Cincinnati chili and it doesn't have any beans, so I don't know what's real anymore.
It's not choking, it's "Cincinnati chili," and you can absolutely get it with beans
My headcanon for the invention of Cincinnati chili is that some midwestern person read that chili is "heavily spiced" and used what they had available, including cinnamon and nutmeg.
Cincinnati chili comes from Greek and immigrants fleeing the Balkan wars of the 1920's. they got off the boat in New York and saw everyone eating Coney dogs and New York style spaghetti.They then get to Ohio and figure that's what Americans like to eat, so they made a sauce using Mediterranean ingredients and flavors that they were familiar with. If they had called it anything other than chili, it would be widely regarded as Cincinnati's greatest contribution to American cuisine.
I’m an adamant defender of skyline, but I think it’s already considered Cincinnati’s greatest contribution to American cuisine. I can’t think of any others despite being from Dayton myself
Only 3 ways and some 4 ways don’t have beans
"If you like beans in chili put beans in chili. If you dislike beans in chili but you dislike someone who also dislikes beans in chili more than you dislike beans in chili put beans in chili."
There is nothing that cinnamon can't improve though
Actually cinnamon doesn't improve cinnamon. Anyone that's attempted to cinnamon challenge can attest to this
You've got me there
As a vegan it might be strange and interesting to try to replicate the "authentic" Texas Red recipes. No beans, no tomato. The basic recipe would be an almost purely pepper-based stock, probably use both Beyond Ground and diced Beyond Steak. If I recall, the most original known chili recipe called for a substantial amount of added pig fat. I'm not big on high-fat foods in the first place, so to me it's dubious whether to even include an alternative. But if I did, the most comparable choice would be coconut oil, but I avoid coconut/palm oil to the best of my ability, so probably a bit of added avocado oil would work best, though it's worth noting that Beyond products are already high in one or the other of these (avocado Beyond is best). Spices don't need to change.
But then, is that really superior chili? Sorry but midwestern bean and tomato/pepper extravaganza chili is way better, and will continue to be my main. But with some added crumbled soy curls? Gonna have to try that soon.
Vegetarian for over 20 years. Most of my chili is "leftovers chili". It's about the flavor more than the ingredients. I suppose it's more of a chili flavored goulash technically.
Usually starting with black beans, chick peas, tomatoes, peppers and chili spices. Then whatever leftovers I don't want to eat get chopped up and added. My favorite leftover is old French fries because they never reheat right anyway. Also a great way to use up produce that is going bad but not yet unsafe to eat.
However, there is nothing that cinnamon cannot make better.
Would you put cinnamon on fettuccine alfredo?
Chili is a tomato based curry and pretty much anything is acceptable if balanced properly.
According to google (and since the name implies it as well I'm inclined to believe it) it's actually a chili pepper based stew. With or without meat. Tomatoes and beans are common ingredients, but not part of the base.
A pinch of cinnamon can be pretty good in chili. Adds a certain spiciness that isn't a capsaicin feeling spice.
