MARGO KNUDSON'S CHILI CON CARNE

Margo Knudson's Chili Con Carne image

I adopted this recipe in the February 2005 recipe adoption. I had no idea who Margo Knudson is, so I googled her. Turns out she won the 1987 International Chili Society Cookoff with this recipe! This is the first time I made "real" chili, with cubed beef instead of ground beef and no beans! The chili is spicy, but not overly so. It has more of a flavorful, complex kind of heat to it. I ended up using slightly more beef broth and tomato sauce than called for in the recipe.

MARGO'S CHICKEN ADOBO

Margo's Chicken Adobo image

Use equal parts vinegar, soy sauce and water. The secret ingredient is cinnamon. This can also be made in the slow cooker: after browning chicken, onion and garlic, transfer to slow cooker, add the rest of the ingredients, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or 4 hours on high.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
3 pounds chicken drumsticks and thighs
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 cup water
2 bay leaves
10 whole black peppercorns
1 cinnamon stick

Steps:

Heat canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and pan-fry the chicken drumsticks and thighs until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken pieces, and set aside. Stir onion and garlic into the hot skillet, and cook and stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes.
Pour in apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and water; stir in bay leaves, peppercorns, and the cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the bottom of the pan. Return chicken pieces and any juice that has formed to the pan.
Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 45 minutes.
