- 1 cup cooked Pristine Gourmet kidney beans
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 x tsp Rosewood Honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 + 1/2 tsp chili powder
To Garnish
For the Jalapeño Cornbread
- 1 cup K2 Milling cornmeal
- 1 cup K2 Milling AP flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 1/2 cup salted Golden Dawn butter, melted
- 3 tbsp Rosewood Honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 x Homestead Farm egg
- 1 cup Harmony Organic buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk on hand, simply mix regular milk plus 1 tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice)
Method
Prepare The Cornbread
Preheat your oven to 400F.
In a large bowl, mix together your cornmeal, AP flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
Cut your jalapeño pepper in half and remove the stem and seeds. Cut the jalapeño into thin strips and then a small dice. You want the pieces of jalapeño to be fairly small in your cornbread for just a subtle hint of heat!
In a a large bowl (or in your stand mixer if you have one!) whisk together your melted butter, honey, and brown sugar and beat until smooth. Whisk in your egg until combined and then add your buttermilk.
Slowly fold in your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients just until combined (if using a stand mixer, use your paddle attachment on low speed). Lastly, your diced jalapeño pepper and fold in to combine.
Pour your batter into a greased bread pan and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Let cool while you make your chili!
Prepare Your Chili
Put a large pot or Dutch oven on the stove at medium-high heat. Add your ground beef and let it brown, breaking it up into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula.
While your beef is browning, peel and dice your yellow onion and carrot, dice your bell pepper and jalapeno, and peel and mince your garlic.
Once your beef is brown, adding your diced onions to the pot and stir to combine. Allow to cook until the onions are translucent. Once translucent, add your diced carrots and peppers and minced garlic to the pot. Allow to cook until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
While your meat and vegetables are cooking, start taking some of your whole Farmington tomatoes from the can and start dicing them and adding them to a large bowl. Start with about 10 tomatoes and then add in some of the puree from the can. You want to have about 2 + 1/2 cups of this diced tomato and puree mixture in total.
Add the tomatoes and puree, cooked kidney beans, beef broth, spices and seasonings to the pot and stir until combined. If the mixture seems dry, add more tomato puree.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the chili to simmer covered for at least 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Scoop your chili into a bowl and top with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with cilantro (optional!). Serve with a slice of your fresh baked jalapeño cornbread & enjoy!
