|
+# Not John Bosworth's Chili Recipe |
|
|
|
+John Bosworth is an old-school Texan bid-ness [sic] man with an |
|
|
|
+infectious southern charm. He's a character in *Halt and Catch Fire*, |
|
|
|
+a TV show that follows a colourful cast of characters navigating the |
|
|
|
+tides of the early American tech industry. Affectionately known as |
|
|
|
+"Boz" in the show, his sweet talking and rugged humor make him one of |
|
|
|
+my favorite characters. |
|
|
|
+ |
|
|
|
+Towards the end of the series, Boz makes his famous chili recipe to |
|
|
|
+sooth some grieving souls[^1]. The TV food looked delicious enough to |
|
|
|
+make me wonder if it were a real recipe. Had "Boz" actually made his |
|
|
|
+chili? Or perhaps the recipe belonged to the actor, a director, |
|
|
|
+writer, or cast member. I dug but didn't find anything anything about |
|
|
|
+this little television culinary artifact. Nevertheless moved by the |
|
|
|
+hypothetical food stuff, I decided to make an inspired version of the |
|
|
|
+recipe. But there's a twist: the recipe includes the one ingredient |
|
|
|
+Bosworth vehemently claims doesn't belong in any chili the world over: |
|
|
|
+cinnamon. I added it to tease the old feller! In my imaginary world, |
|
|
|
+Boz comes over to my house for dinner, loves my chili, and learns |
|
|
|
+about the heretical secret ingredient :) |
|

|
+## Ingredients |
|
|
|
+Toasted spice mix |
|
|
|
+- 1 tablespoon cumin |
|
|
|
+- 1 teaspoon green peppercorns |
|
|
|
+- 1 teaspoon black pepper |
|
|
|
+- 1 habanero chili pepper |
|
|
|
+- 2 thai chili peppers |
|
|
|
+ |
|
|
|
+Everything else |
|
|
|
+- 2 tablespoons animal lard, like bacon fat |
|
|
|
+- 5 gloves garlic, minced |
|
|
|
+- 1 cup of finely diced onion |
|
|
|
+- 1 teaspoon dark cocoa powder |
|
|
|
+- 1 teaspoon cinnamon |
|
|
|
+- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder[^2] |
|
|
|
+- 1/4 teaspoon sugar |
|
|
|
+- 1 teaspoon salt |
|
|
|
+- 1 cup black beans, drained |
|
|
|
+- 1 cup corn kernels |
|
|
|
+- 1 lbs ground beef |
|
|
|
+- 1 can of crushed tomatoes (about 750ml) |
|
|
|
+- 1 can of 0.5% blonde lager (355ml) |
|
|
|
+ |
|
|
|
+## Directions |
|
|
|
+Toast the cumin, green peppercorns, and black pepper in a pan until |
|
|
|
+they become darkened and fragrant. Remove and set aside. Remove stems |
|
|
|
+from habanero and thai chili peppers, then toast in pan until they |
|
|
|
+become blackened in spots. Remove and add to spice mix. Put both into |
|
|
|
+a mortal and pestle or spice blender. Blend. |
|
|
|
+ |
|
|
|
+Heat 1 tablespoon of the lard in a high-sided enamel cooking pan, like a |
|
|
|
+Crueset braiser, or a stainless steel pot. (Don't use cast iron, which |
|
|
|
+can react with the tomatoes to make a metallic taste.) Add the |
|
|
|
+beef. Separate with a wooden spoon, retaining plenty of nice big 1" |
|
|
|
+chunks. Cook until the exterior browns and the interior remains red. |
|
|
|
+Transfer to a dish. Remove most of the beef fat from the pan. |
|
|
|
+ |
|
|
|
+Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of lard in pan. Add onions and gently |
|
|
|
+sweat. Don't let them get browned. When they are shiny and slimy add |
|
|
|
+in the garlic and your toasted spice mix. Stir for a minute or |
|
|
|
+so. Pour in about a quarter of the beer. Use a pan-appropriate utensil |
|
|
|
+(i.e.: silicone or wood in enamel) to scrape the tasty bits from the |
|
|
|
+base of the pan. Add remaining beer, then add beef, beans, salt, |
|
|
|
+sugar, cinnamon, cocoa powder, chili powder, and tomato. Simmer, never |
|
|
|
+boil, partially covered for ~10 minutes. Add in the corn kernels. Let |
|
|
|
+everything cook for as long as your appetite has time to spare: as |
|
|
|
+little as 10 minutes or as much as an hour. |
|
|
|
+ |
|
|
|
+Before serving taste for adjustments: Too acidic? Add sugar. Not |
|
|
|
+enough flavor? Add salt. Missing earthy undertones? Add a wee bit |
|
|
|
+(1/8 t or less at a time) more cocoa. |

|
|
|
+[^1]: Specifically: season 4, episode 8. |
|
|
|
+ |
|
|
|
+[^2]: You can use any chili powder. I like to use half chipotle and half ancho powder for a nice smokey flavour. |
