Mexican Style Chili Ingredients:

14-ounce dry kidney beans 398ml
One-fourth pound salt pork, diced 115 grams
Three cloves garlic, minced 3 cloves
Two large onions, chopped 2 large
1 pound lean beef, diced 450 grams
1 pound lean pork, diced (shoulder is good) 450 grams
14-ounce can tomato sauce 398ml can
3 tablespoon chili powder 45ml
2 teaspoon salt 10ml
One-fourth teaspoon pepper 1ml
One-half teaspoon dried leaf oregano 2ml
Pinch cumin tomato juice pinch

Procedure:
At first, you need to wash and look over the beans. Then have them soaked in six cups (1.5ml) cold water overnight (or you can simply follow the package directions). Afterward, you drain its water.

Next, you need to cook the salted pork in a large skillet or Dutch oven until it becomes very crispy. Then add up the garlic and the onions, and then cook and stir it until it becomes limp. After that, you have to add the beef and the pork bits, and then cook them gently until it becomes lightly browned. Keep on stirring it. Subsequently, you have to stir in all the remaining ingredients except the tomato juice. Then cover it tightly and simmer it for one and a half or until the meat and the beans becomes very tender. Then you add up the tomato juice a bit at a time if the pan appears to be dry. Remember that chili should be moist but not wet when cooking is finished. Often, you need to taste it and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

(Note: I like to make my chili in a large buffet-size electric skillet. When I use it, I have found out that I need to add up quite a bit of liquid during cooking-up to a full nineteen-ounce can tomato juice.)

3 Fresh Ideas For Cooking With Pacific Pollock

You might initially think your choices are limited when planning a meal with pacific pollock, but there are many different directions to take with this incredibly abundant fish. It doesn't always have to come back to the ubiquitous fish sticks or fish sandwiches so popular at lunch and dinnertime. Why not take a cue from the different cultures of our country and region and try pollock fajitas or a Caribbean pollock salad? You don't have to keep it simple when you are working with pacific pollock. Try out any of these three recipes when you want to get down to business in the kitchen.

Pollock filet with couscous: Looking for a different take on an old favorite? Alter your spice choices a bit and enjoy baked pollock with couscous to turn around your approach at dinner. Line a baking sheet covered with tin foil with three pats of butter, coriander, paprika, sliced green onion, almonds and currants. Add pollock filets and bake for about twenty minutes. Top with lemon slices and serve with couscous for a Moroccan touch.

Pollock fajitas: You probably know the drill when it comes to making fajitas. It's all about organizing the ingredients and making sure everything is fresh. In this case, you can break up the monotony of chicken or beef by using pacific pollock. Sauté green and red peppers with onions sliced lengthwise. The pollock can either be cooked in a pan or even fried if you want a truly tasty and guilty pleasure. Serve with fresh guacamole and sour cream lining your warm tortillas.

Caribbean fish salad: What does it take to turn a pollock filet into a Caribbean salad delight? In this case, it all comes down to the fruits you are using. Fresh oranges, pineapple and avocado will make all the difference. Grill your pollock using a teriyaki sauce, then place over a bed of greens with a light olive oil dressing. The chunks of pineapple, orange and avocado create a totally different array of smells and tastes. Any time you sense your family getting totally bored by the way you are preparing salads at home, use this recipe and reverse the trend.
