Plans for the weekend....early

Chili con Carne

2 tablespoons (60 ml.) olive oil
1 lb. (1/2 kilo) range-fed lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 large poblano peppers ( or 1 large bell pepper) chopped
1 lb. (1/2 kilo) finely chopped tomatoes (or 1 16-oz. can)
4 cups (1 liter) cooked beans
1-2 tablespoon (30-60 ml.) chile powder, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoon comino (cumin)
1 cup (8 oz/.25 liter) water
1 tablespoon (60 ml.) cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
crushed tortilla chips and chopped cilantro for garnish

Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Cook meat, onion, garlic and poblano until tender and meat is no longer pink.
Add all remaining ingredients, except vinegar and salt. Simmer 30 minutes.
Add vinegar and simmer 15 minutes.
Salt to taste.
Serve garnished with crushed tortilla chips and cilantro.

Vegetarian version: omit meat and add two more cups of cooked beans. This beany chili con frijoles was a favorite during my vegetarian years.
