Fresh Charred Chili

Camadile · 12-13-2014, 02:38 PM

I made some chili last weekend out in the desert that turned out amazing! I used fresh tomatoes, corn on the cob and fresh chilies/onions instead of the canned variety found in most chilies. The only canned items were the beans - black and kidney and a small can of chipoltle peppers in adobo sauce. I cooked it all in the desert over a wash-tub fire pit!

Here are some of the fresh ingredients - two ears of corn, eight tomatoes and fresh black sage:

Then I started up the wash tub fire pit:

Next, I roasted up the fresh corn on my griddle (cut from the cob) and then seared/roasted the fresh tomatoes on the griddle:

Close-up:

Throw the chared tomatoes and corn in the chili pot:

Time to sear in the juices of the tri-tip chunks:

Tri-tip goes into the pot - Mash it up!

Now we sear/char the veggies - Pascillas, red bells, onions and 2-3 jalapenos:

Close-up:

Add the beans, a few sage leaves, chopped up chipotle, a little cumin, some chili powder and let the pot bubble for a couple hours. Finished chili:

Wash tub with griddle at night:

That aint RED but I eat it until I popped like a Tick

Fresh ingredients, Fire and open air make it all so much better.

Looks great! Love the griddle idea for the fire pit. My brother has a washer tub as well for his, going to have to show him this for sure.

Looks fantastic...I can only imagine how wonderful the flavor must be from all the fresh ingredients!

Thanks Guys! The charring/searing put in a nice smokey background and the chipoltes did the same thing as well as adding some kick. The roasted fresh corn also added a nice sweetness. I just wanted to keep eating it even though I was full!

And yes, it wasn't red! It had the color and consistency of beef stew but oh so much better. I also do the same basic thing with tomatillos, pascillas and pork to make a green chili.
