Duck Chili A must try dish for the heart of winter. Recipe and photos by Jack Hennessy “NO PRISON FOOD,” were my sole instructions for this recipe. All killer, no filler, as some might CROSS-PLATFORM INTIATIVES say. The truth of the matter: authentic chili does NOT contain beans or tomatoes. Such ingredients were added along the dish’s evolution to stretch this spicy stew (hence the term “prison food”). Consistent growth of our leading waterfowl What is chili—the real deal—at is core? Meat and ■ chiles. Maybe an onion. So real chili these days is sometimes called “Texas Chili,” where is likely originated, or a “Bowl content across all mediums, combining of Red.” As you read on, you’ll see why I call this one a “Bowl of Irish Red.” So while you will find many recipes for “authen- traditional with social extensions. tic chili” on the internet, you will likely notice these recipes call for taking dried chiles and rehydrating then blending whole. Don’t do that. Yes, I’ve done that and it’s guaranteed to leave that unpleasant texture of chile skin in the paste. For the same rea- son we roast then sweat peppers and peel skin, you want to rehydrate your dried chiles then make a paste (not blend). I’m going to say it: If you don’t feel like you’re getting arthritis while making this paste, you’re doing it wrong. Already have arthritis? That’s why you have grandkids. You’ll need a stainless steel China cap strainer and a very durable stain- less steel spoon. This same strainer is what you’ll use to make duck butter (more on that soon), after thoroughly washing.
