Sacred Excerement Chili

Image via WikipediaBecause I made so many mouths water via Twitter prior to my New Years Eve party, here’s the recipe for some seriously hot chili. No beans, because that’s a hanging offense.

Sacred Excrement Chili – v 2.1^* by Evo Terra

Total cooking time: 6 hours
Serves: 12 – 24, depending on how much they like chili and can handle the heat

Meat

5 lbs pork roast, cut into 1/2″ chunks
1 lb pork sausage. If using links, split skin & scrape out filling

Fresh Goodies

4 chipotle peppers, minced
4 large Anaheim peppers, roasted, skinned, seeded & drained. Oh, and chopped.
2 large green bell peppers, seeded & diced
2 large yellow/sweet onions, diced
1 entire bunch of cilantro, chopped. The more, the merrier.
1 bulb (not a clove, the whole bulb) of garlic, crushed or minced
5 stalks of celery, thick cut

Canned Goodies

2 28-oz cans of diced tomatoes
1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
1 15 oz can of beef broth

Seasonings

Between 1/4 teaspoon & 1/2 tablespoon of Habanero chili powder, depending on how much you can handle — you decide.
May substitute for “normal” chili powder @ 8 tablespoons
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried majoram leaves
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano leaves
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Secret Ingredients

1 cup raisins
2 cups steel cut oats

Directions

Combine Meat (do not brown first), Fresh Goodies & canned tomatoes (not the tomato sauce) into large cooking pot. Mix well & slowly bring mixture to a boil, then quickly reduce heat to a simmer.

Add tomato sauce, broth and all Seasonings (go easy on the Habanero to start, remember it’s easy to add, not take out) to a blender. Blend. Pour over and mix well in the simmering pot.

Cover & stir occasionally, making sure to not allow any burning on the bottom.

After 2 hours, add Secret Ingredients.

Continue cooking & stirring for an additional 4 hours. Add additional oats to increase thickness as necessary.

Serve with whatever else you want in your chili. But I highly recommend tasting it first. Oh, and having a beer handy. ‘Tis a touch warm — of temperature and of spice.

That’s it. And once you have it, you’ll know why it’s called Sacred Excrement Chili. And if you’re still unsure, buy a thesaurus.
