Chili Colorado in the works..

I normally use feral pork shoulders/loins/tenderloins, which I love, but I'm out right now so I went with 7 lbs of pork tenderloins from the store. Don't judge me. This is one of my favorite meals, and it's pretty awesome to make at camp with a fresh killed pig if you have the will. I've got Stevie Ray Vaughan on the loudspeaker, & I'm moving a spoon. Life is good.

My sauce is normally made up of 6 different kinds of dried chilis, because that's the flavor that I like in my sauce. Add garlic & onion.


After cleaning up the meat and cutting it the way I like, I give it a light dusting of fajita seasoning and brown it in a cast iron pot. Nice & easy like. Just a quick brown with no flour..had to use the coated pot because i went with 7 lbs of meat instead of 5, and didn't want to use a bigger pot.



Foundation is poured.



The pepper sauce is puckered up and ready for the strainer.

Meat's in the pot. Just need to simmer for a few hours until the meat is tender and the gravy is thick. Will check for seasoning soon, and add a little cumin toward the end. Meat's gonna make it's own juice and make nice gravy in a bit.



Working on the rice & beans, and tortillas.

More to come. Hope all is well.

Looks wonderful!!

Yummy

Damn right!!! That is real chili right there not stew.

I need to make some soon haven’t made it since New Year’s Eve.

Ancho, guajillo, arbol, pastille, pequins? Not sure about the last one. Am I at least close?

Well get after it bud!

Very good Sir. Chili Ancho, guajillo, pasilla, chipotle, arbol, and hand picked tepins.

Delicious. I use this same mix in my Texas Chili and tamales.

Buenos noches amigos.

Wow ! That looks outstanding .

Oh Chit man that looks fantastic

Knocked it out of the park

need a slobber or drooling emoji, dang that looks good

Man I got to try this that looks amazing.

That looks fantastic brother.....

That looks incredible

Thanks guys. It’s one of my favorites and the family loves it. About to make another plate.

Skinner, where do you get your dried chilis from? I've picked some up in the past at HEB, but they weren't that great.

HEB most of the time, they've always been good here. Nice and soft, not dried out too much. If not there I hit up the local Mexican market.

Ive never met skinnerback, but this is how I know that he knows what he's doing. Out-Standing!

Thank you Sir, and I say the same thing to you!

Looks really good little buddy 👍

I say this with the absolute highest level of respect that can be given. . . . . . . .






DUDE!!!!

Said it before and I’ll say it again, the man is a genius with the local viddles. Dad GUM I can almost smell it from N Texas brother!

Hey Skinner, is the house next door to you available?

For real!!!

Ah shucks, you're making me blush Frog. LOL, I'm no genius just love to cook & eat! Always learning...

Cast, actually yes Sir the house next door to me is available. It was a VERY nice and well kept 2 story house on 2 1/2 acres with a pool and a huge shop. Harvey tore it up pretty bad, and apparently the new owners didn't have Texas Windstorm Insurance on it. So they just walked away and left it like that (they were also going through a divorce so who knows). There's still big trees down all over the yard, and paneling/insulation & rotten tarps hanging all over. Depressing to look at. Come on down and buy it! I'll help you fix it up.

ROAD TRIP!!!

I’m gonna leave me alone. I can taste that from here.

You can take that modesty somewhere else because you know damn well you’re an amazing cook. Haven’t had it a long while but you need to come up again and cook

nice

Skinnerback, is this man bothering you?

Well thank you. We do need to have another get together soon. I've had a blast on every one of the THF get togethers I've been to so far. Even the goose hunt, it was tuff but standing there in that field watching 2Bees have a total f'n meltdown made the whole trip for me. Always good people.

I’m really pissed I missed that one. Just seeing joshy boil down would have been worth all the mud and not smoking any geese lol.

It was epic, and the more he got taunted the better it got.

After falling down in the mud a time or two and cussing like he had the worst case of Turrets in the world, and after taking a deek to the back of the head, and falling down again, and cussing again, he spun off into one of the greatest temper tantrums I've ever seen. and then he would slip in that muck again and the guys just kept poking that stick. LMAO. It's a good thing his gun was put away, not not he'd hit one of us anyway!
