Ski Lodge Chili

February 1, 2012 by joe
How do you feed chili to 25 skiers, including just a few vegetarians, some kids who don’t eat spicy on a ski trip? Ski Lodge Chili does the trick.

Ingredients
- Ground Beef: 6 lbs
- Green Peppers: 7 large, diced
- Yellow onions: 3 lbs, diced
- Garlic: 2 heads, peeled and chopped
- Diced tomatoes: 2 28 oz cans
- Whole tomatoes: 2 28 oz cans
- Kidney beans: 4 28 oz cans
- Habanero peppers: 2, diced fine
- Garbonzo beans: 1 15 oz can
- eggplant: 1 small:
- Cumin: 4 tbsp
- paprika: 2 tbsp
- red pepper flakes: 3 tbsp
- black pepper 3 tsp
- Rice: 1 lb
- Salt: 1 tsp
Procedures:

Chili
1. Brown and drain the ground beef, divide into two large pots, 1.5-2 gallon pots.
2. Add to each one can of diced tomatoes, one can of whole tomatoes, with their liquid.
3. Reserving about a half green pepper and a half onion, and two cloves of garlic for the vegetarian mix, divide the remainder of the green peppers, onions and garlic between the two pots of chili. One pot will be spicy, one mild. These pots should cook low for at least an hour, better 90 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp salt. Stir and bother the simmering soup, especially breaking the whole tomatoes into pieces.
4. When you have 1 hour left to cook, add to the spicy pot, 1 diced habanero pepper, 1 tbsp pepper flakes, 1.5 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp paprika, 1tsp black pepper.
5. To the mild chili pot, add 1 tbsp pepper flakes, 1.5 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp black pepper.
Beans
1. drain and wash your 4 cans of kidney beans. place them in a large pot, barely cover with water.
2. bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. cook 15-25 minutes.
vegetarian mix
1. in medium pot, cook eggplant and green pepper on low, in a little oil, until a little tender
2. add onions, garlic, 1 diced habanero pepper and spices (1 tbsp cumin, some red pepper flakes, some black pepper)
3. continue to cook on low until the onions begin to be cooked, then
4. add the drained, washed garbonzo beans, cook another 5-10 minutes
rice
- prepare according to the directions on the bag of rice
Serve with rice and add-ons, my favorites, grated cheese, sour cream, raw chopped onions, corn chips, crackers. Let the beans stay separate and add beans directly to the bowls of those who want beans in their chili.

Navy Bean Soup

June 13, 2007 by joe

(yield: 25 c.)

1-1/2 lb. navy beans (dried)
3 qt. water, boiling
2-1/2 lb. ham shanks
2 oz. onion, chopped
4 oz. celery, chopped

procedure:

1. wash beans. add boiling water. cover and let stand 1 hour or longer.
2. add ham shanks. simmer until beans are cooked.
3. remove ham from bones—chop and add later.
4. add onion, celery, and water to make a total volume of 1-1/2 gal.
5. cook 30 minutes.
6. add chopped ham, season to taste.

source: KJFSC

Notes: This is one of my all time favorite soups, especially for cold weather. It will benefit from a bouquet garni, or from garnishing with a bit of finely chopped fresh parsley, a sprinkle of paprika, and/or some minced thyme. A vegetarian version can be crafted substituting 1/2 – 1 lb. mushrooms and 1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil for the ham shanks. White beans, red kidney beans, and black beans do well in this same recipe (red or black beans need to cook rather longer than navy beans).
