EXCELLENT WHITE CHILI

Steps:

• Over medium heat in a heavy pot, sauté the pork (or chicken) and onion in oil and butter for 8 to 10 minutes or until the meat browns and onion softens.
• Add the rice and barley stir to coat, then stir in the cumin, salt, garlic, white beans, garbanzo beans, chilies, hominy, Tabasco, crumbled bacon, chicken broth, tomatillos, lime juice, and basil.
• Bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes.
• Serve each portion topped with about 2 Tbsp cheese and together with good, crusty bread and a salad.
• If the chili is too thick for your preference, you can add chicken broth to the desired consistency.

WHITE CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in large pot or Dutch oven over moderate heat. Add the onion, celery, poblanos, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the meat is no longer pink about 2 minutes. Add the white beans, broth and oregano. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes.
• Add the hominy and salt and more cayenne pepper, to taste, and continue cooking, partially covered, 10 minutes longer. Ladle into individual bowls and top each serving with 1 tablespoon of yogurt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cilantro. Garnish with a lime wedge.

KEN'S WHITE CHILI

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight.
• Combine beans, chicken broth, onions and garlic in large pot.
• Cook (boil, then simmer) for 1 to 2 hours until beans are done. (Do not stir too much or the beans will fall apart).
• When beans are done, add chicken, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper, lemon juice, and chilies.
• Simmer for approximately 1 hour.
• Add grated cheese last. Simmer until cheese is melted; stir or cheese will sink to the bottom and scorch.
• NOTES.
• Cooking times are approximate. Basically cook until the beans are done and spices have "soaked in" then cook until cheese melts.
• Sometimes not all of the chicken broth is necessary.
• You don't want it too soupy, so I usually add about 4 cans of chicken broth and add the last can as needed.
• This will make a large pot.
• Serve with a salad and garlic bread and enjoy!

GREAT WHITE CHILI (SUPPOSED TO BE BY WILLIE NELSON)

Steps:

• Put the chicken stock base, broth, and beans in a large pot (I like my Crock Pot).
• Simmer it for two hours, covered.
• Saute the onions in the oil until they are gently browned.
• Combine the onions with the spices, chicken, and other vegetables, and simmer for another hour or so.
• Add the cheese and sour cream, cooking until the cheese melts in the chili.
• You might want to serve the chili with more sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, cilantro, or cheese.
• The recipe serves about four people, but I always double it, because it tastes even better the second day.
• If you don't use fresh cilantro, you might want to double the amount you use.
• Also, I have found the garlic to be low, but you can tell by my name that I love to cook with garlic.
• It was also great to substitute some of the chicken broth with beer (preferably Mexican), if you add a few shots of tequila for added ummph!
