Since then I have quit my job in a commercial kitchen and decided to start making my own cooking show, QUICK MEALS. This is episode 16. <br /> <br />Home is where the heart is, and good food brings family and friends together around the table. That's what I'm all about and that's what I want QUICK MEALS to be all about. <br /> <br />A few days ago I was wrestling with a naked childhood friend in my carport because of this cooking show. There are too many missteps, both clothed and unclothed, to even to mention at this point. I decided to end QUICK MEALS because it was clearly destroying lives and families, but then something amazing happened. SteelCityStallion@rocketmail.com answered my email. There’s going to be an episode 22. I’m crying tears of joy as I type this. Starting this show might actually have been the best idea of my life! <br /> <br />Recipe: <br />Start off by heating a pot over medium heat (I recommend using at least a 5 quart pot for this recipe). Cover the bottom of your pot with olive oil and add your minced garlic. Sauté your garlic until it’s golden brown. <br /> <br />Then pour in your diced and petite diced tomatoes, along with your tomato paste. Stir it up real good and then add all your spices: chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper (as always, I’m using white pepper). <br /> <br />Again, stir it all up real good and then add your veggies: onions, green peppers, and jalepeños. Again, mix it up real good. Then it’s time for your legumes to leap on in: kidney beans and pinto beans. Mix it all up and then lower the heat to a simmer. <br /> <br />Combine a 1/4 cup of masa harina flour and a 1/2 cup water in a bowl and mix them up real good. Drizzle that mixture into your chili as you stir. And for the umpteenth time, mix it all up real good. <br /> <br />Your chili is ready right now, but if you have the time I suggest you let it simmer for a bit to let all those flavors commingle real nice and good. Either way you’ve got yourself a hearty vegetarian dinner and another quick and delicious meal sure to make your taste buds PAP!
