There are a thousand ways to make chili, but this is the quintessential, totally classic version. We used ground beef, kidney beans and the perfect blend of spices. You can slather it on hot dogs and burgers or serve it as a dip, but it can surely stand on its own. Chances are, you have everything you need right in your pantry. Top it with your favorite garnishes and serve with plenty of tortilla chips.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
- Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.

OTORO'S IRISH LAMB STEW
I made this a few days after Easter when I had leftover leg of lamb. Save the bones, along with the green part of the leeks to make lamb stock, if not beef stock can be substituted. It turned out really awesome and tastes even better the day after you make it. Really just add any veggies you like, my GF doesn't like onions (hence the leeks) but she loves mushrooms. This is hearty food for working class people, not fancy just good food for the gut. Simple and delicious.

Steps:
- In a large pot add the 3-4 T. of oil or butter and turn to medium-high heat.
- Add all the vegetables (besides the tomatoes), season with salt and pepper and cook a few minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the lamb and cook until the outside is browned.
- In a nonstick skillet melt the 1/4 cup of butter over medium-low heat and add the flour. Cook a few minutes until the mixture gets a little color, no more than 4 minutes. There, you just made a roux. Easy.
- Add the roux to the pot along with the tomatoes, stock and beer. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
- Turn down to a simmer and cook for 2 hours.
- Add the barley and herbs and cook for another 20 minutes or until the barley is cooked to your liking. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Bon Appetito.

OTORO'S ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
This recipe has been adapted from 'The Essence of Chocolate' by Robert Steinberg and John Scharffen-Berger. Don't skimp on the chocolate, use Ghirardelli or Scharffen-Berger, the guy that put together the book also makes some of the best chocolate you can find in many gourmet stores, I've even seen it at the supermarket on occasion. For fancier cookies, use chocolate chunks. Because bread flour is a high-protein flour it adds a nice, chewy texture to these cookies. You may wish to substitute your favorite nuts or omit them all together but I love the combination of chocolate and pecans. I also recommend using a cookie scoop as it will provide more uniform sized cookies that bake more evenly.

Steps:
- Position the racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven and preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift together both flours, the baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and both sugars on medium speed for about 5 minutes, or until pale, light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Reduce the speed to low, add the dry ingredients, and mix until the flour is completely blended, scraping the bowl as necessary.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the chocolate and nuts until evenly distributed. (The dough can be refrigerated, well wrapped, up to a week or frozen for up to one month).
- Drop the dough by heaping tablespoon (or use a cookie scoop), 2 inches apart, onto the prepared pans, I usually can fit 8 on a half sheet pan. Flatten each cookie slightly. Bake for 11-15 minutes (depending on your oven), or until golden, rotating the pans halfway through baking. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely, if you can wait that long. Bon Appetito.

OTORO'S ULTIMATE SAUSAGE GRAVY
This is classic Southern-style sausage gravy; two thumbs up from my relatives in Tennessee and Kentucky. I'm very proud. It's quick, easy and delicious. Besides the sausage, all other measurements in this recipe are approximate, I don't measure the flour or milk. And a note on the milk: do not use skim, it won't come out right. Spoon this gravy over biscuits, toast or just about anything.

Steps:
- Heat a 10" to 12" skillet over medium high heat and add sausage.
- Break up sausage with a wooden spoon. Add onion after a minute or two.
- Once the sausage is cooked, use a teaspoon to heavily dust the sausage with flour.
- Stir to incorporate the flour, you want it to coat the sausage and soak up the grease.
- Once the flour has turned a very light brown (about 2-3 minutes) add the milk and bring to a boil.
- Turn the heat down to medium and continue to stir, it should thicken up quite quickly. If the gravy seems to thick, add more milk.
- Add the hot pepper sauce (I like Frank's) and 8-10 grinds of coarse black pepper. Stir and serve immediately. Bon Appetito.
OTORO'S ULTIMATE BAKED ZITI
This is similar to the Baked Ziti recipe from the Sopranos Cook Book, only better. Try to use fresh herbs in this if you have them. And please people, don't substitute cottage cheese for ricotta, it's not the same thing. Nor should the ricotta be fat free. I've made double and triple batches of this, sometimes I use Italian sausage along with meatballs. If you do, cook the sausage in the microwave for about 5 minutes then cut in half and drop in the sauce to finish cooking. This is my favorite way to cook Italian sausage, the texture is great and it gives a lot of flavor to the sauce. Once the sausage is cooked (about 25 minutes), cut into bite sized pieces to put in the dish. A note on the meatballs, I like a combination of beef and pork, which you can find at the butcher labeled 'Meatloaf Mix'. The ratio in this is 1:1 pound each: pasta, meatballs, ricotta, mozzarella. If I make a double batch it's two pounds of pasta, meatballs.....you get the idea. The best part of this is the top crust of crispy pasta and cheese. The sauce and meatballs, or even the whole dish can be made a day ahead of time. Awesome delicious Italian comfort food. Serve with garlic bread and salad if you wish.

Steps:
- To make the sauce: heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in a 5 quart pot. Add onions and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook 3-5 minutes.
- Add garlic (reserve 1 teaspoon) and ground round and season with salt and pepper, continue to cook until meat is cooked through. Drain off excess fat if desired.
- Add all your tomato products, wine, parsley stems and bay leaf. Bring to a boil then turn down to simmer. Taste the sauce, if it seems too sour add a bit of sugar. Stir occasionally.
- To make the meatballs: in a nonreactive bowl mix the remaining pound of meat with 2 T. parsley, breadcrumbs, 2 eggs, 1 t. garlic, 1/2 cup Parmesan/Romano cheese, 1 t. salt, pepper to taste, and 2 T. olive oil.
- Shape into balls about the size of a cherry tomato, brown in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil. Drain on paper towels. They don't need to be cooked through, they will finish cooking in the sauce.
- Add the meatballs to the sauce along with the remaining herbs, simmer 30-45 minutes longer.
- Cook the ziti in boiling water slightly firmer than al dente. Drain.
- In the pasta cooking pot, add the pasta along with several ladles of sauce, meatballs, half the remaining Parmesan and half the mozzarella, stir to combine.
- Mix the ricotta with the egg until smooth.
- In a large baking dish, add a couple ladles of sauce to the bottom of the dish. Add half the pasta mixture, then spread all the ricotta in one even layer. Then a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat with remaining pasta, then cheeses. I usually have a little pasta left that won't fit in the dish so don't worry, it makes a nice little snack while you wait.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350ºF for 45 minutes, then uncovered for an additional 15-30 minutes until bubbly.
- Let sit 10 minutes before serving with a big spoon. Bon Appetito.
