NOTES: This is a midwestern chili (beans and tomatoes!).
-
I added some leftover crushed tomatoes, and we garnished it with non-fat sour
-
cream and chopped cilantro (better for you than corn chips).
-
A more traditional chili style would be to relplace all tomatos with a red chili sauce: split and de-seed dry red anchos, anahiems, and/or gujanailos (sp?) and
-
sear on a hot cast iron skillet.
-
put in a bowl and cover by boiling water.
-
soak 20 min, then puree, maybe with a little garlic (and usually salt, but not for this recipe!).
-
Use that instead of tomato paste and crushed tomato.

Enjoy, Keith
