BASIC THAI SWEET CHILI SAUCE



Basic Thai Sweet Chili Sauce image

I love to use this chili sauce for grilled chicken and various Thai appetizers. I'm posting this recipe because some of my recipes use this as a dipping sauce.I actually prefer the bottled stuff but this recipe is a nice simple substitution for it.

BASIC SPICY CHILI

This is a basic chili recipe, but my favorite. Since I am a vegetarian, I omit the beef and add more beans for a great meatless chili. I also add more hot sauce for extra kick. This chili is great served with sour cream and/or cheese.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs ground beef
3 medium onions, chopped
1 (46 ounce) can tomato juice
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
3 cups kidney beans, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons chili powder (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon Dave's Insanity hot sauce (or your favorite intense hot sauce--optional)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda (a pinch)
1 cup water (if needed)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, saute beef and onions together until beef is browned.
  • Drain beef and add to a large soup pot (this step can be skipped if you wish to brown the beef in the soup pot).
  • Add tomato juice and simmer over medium heat.
  • Add tomatoes (with their juice), crushing between fingers to break apart.
  • Add kidney beans, chili powder (the entire 4 tablespoons may be a bit much for some people, so start out small and add to taste), and optional hot sauce.
  • After mixture comes to a simmer, add baking soda (the baking soda will help cut down the acidity of the tomatoes).
  • Simmer for about 20-30 minutes, adding water if necessary to thin out the chili.
  • Taste for seasoning.

LOW FAT BASIC VEGETARIAN CHILI

This is sort of a "starter" -- good as is, but you can add corn, black beans, onions, sour cream, cheese -- whatever you like to personalize it. You can use salsa in place of the tomato sauce too.
