Place the dried Guajillo, Pasilla and New Mexico chili peppers in the skillet and roast until edges of peppers turn brown. You will smell them! Keep the peppers moving in the skillet or they will burn and become bitter! Once the peppers have been toasted, place them in a large container and cover with super hot water. Place a plate or similar heavy object over them to keep them submerged in the hot water for 20 – 30 minutes. Remove the stems and seeds from inside the peppers and place the peppers in a blender. Add a 1/4 cup of the liquid from the bowl the peppers were in along with the beer and vinegar. Add the cumin, one teaspoon of salt, the black pepper, the cilantro and the jalapeno peppers, roughly chopped. Depending on the heat you desire, remove the seeds and veins from the jalapenos or at least from one. Process these ingredients until liquefied. You can make the paste up earlier and put in the refrigerator. THE MEAT Cut the meat into ¼ inch cubes. In a dutch oven or a large stock pot, add the vegetable oil and swirl until it covers the entire pan surface. Add the onion and the garlic and cook until the onions turn opaque. Be careful not to burn the garlic! Add the meat to this mixture and cook until just browned. If your cooking vessel isn’t big enough to brown all of it at one time, you can split it up into smaller amounts and brown separately. Once all of the meat is browned, add the two boxes of beef stock to the meat mixture. Let this simmer on medium-low to medium heat for 45 minutes to an hour until the meat is tender. THE CHILI Once the meat is tender, add the chili paste and chili powder to the beef stock, meat and vegetable mixture. It will look a bit thin, but that’s ok for now. Dice the tomato and add to the pot. Let this cook for about 20 – 30 minutes or until the tomato’s dissolve. Put the Masa Harina or corn flour in a bowl. Add hot water and mix until the texture is smooth. Slowly pour the mixture in the pot and stir continuously until you reach the desired consistency. Let this cook for 20 more minutes and add the chocolate. Stir until chocolate is blended with the chili. At this point taste the chili to see if you need to add additional salt, hot peppers, cumin or other ingredients. When it suits your taste, let it simmer for another hour or longer if you prefer, until the chili thickens and takes on a deep, almost rusty red hue. The longer you cook this, the richer the flavor will be. SERVE IT UP This is best when it is served hot, right out of the pot with your favorite sides of cheeses, onions, cilantro, cornbread, crackers or whatever you prefer.

Abstract In the present investigation, the morphological variability of 11 populations of wild piquin chili (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum) of the Mountain range Gorda and Semidesert of Queretaro (Municipalities of Arroyo Seco, Jalpan of Serra, Toliman and Cadereyta de Montes) and Guanajuato (Municipality of Xichu). The characterization was carried out under greenhouse conditions at the Technological Institute of Roque (ITR) located in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico. The 44 characters were recorded in seedling, plant, flowering, fruit maturity and seed. The principal component analysis (CP) showed that the first three components explained 56.6% of the total morphological variability. The CP1 was explained by the characteristics of weight (0.326), width (0.301) and fruit length (0.271), leaf density (0.277) and seed diameter (0.297). In CP2, the variables that contributed most to the expression of the variation were width (0.329) and leaf pubescence (0.317) and finally, in CP3, the shape of the fruit (0.344) and color of the anthers (- 0.308) were the most important characters.

  • Tips for Cooking with Coriander / Cilantro Russian Green Bean Salad
    Recipes Tips for Cooking with Coriander / Cilantro • Gently heat seeds in a dry pan until fragrant before crushing or grinding to enhance the flavor. • Crush seeds using a mortar and pestle or grind seeds in a spice mill or coffee grinder. • Seeds are used whole in pickling recipes. • Cilantro is best used fresh as it loses flavor when dried. • Clean cilantro bunches by swishing the leaves in water and patting dry. • For the best color, flavor and texture, add cilantro leaves towards the end of the cooking time. • The stems have flavor too, so tender stems may be chopped and added along with the leaves. • Store cilantro stem in a glass of water in the refrigerator, with a loose plastic bag over the top. Russian Green Bean Salad with Garlic, Walnuts, Basil, Cilantro and Coriander Seed ½ cup broken walnuts ¼ cup firmly packed basil leaves 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and each cut into ¼ cup firmly packed cilantro leaves and several pieces tender stems 4 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 pound fresh green beans, stems removed 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar and steamed until crisp – tender and cooled 1 Tbsp lemon juice in ice water 1 Tbsp water ½ cup thinly sliced green onions 1 tsp ground coriander seed ½ cup thinly sliced radishes ⅛ to ¼ tsp hot pepper sauce such as Tabasco Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 2 Tbsp firmly packed parsley leaves and tender stems To prepare dressing, place walnuts and garlic in food processor fitted with knife blade; chop, using pulse control, until evenly fine. Add olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, water, coriander seed and hot pepper sauce; process until smooth.

  • Tolerance of Vegetable Crops to Salinity M.C
    Scientia Horticulturae 78 (1999) 5±38 Tolerance of vegetable crops to salinity M.C. Shannon*, C.M. Grieve U.S. Salinity Laboratory, Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 450 W. Big Springs Road, Riverside, CA 92507, USA Abstract Global constraints on fresh water supplies and the need to dispose of agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste waters have intensified interest in water reuse options. In many instances, the value of the water is decreased solely because of its higher salt concentration. Although quantitative information on crop salt tolerance exists for over 130 crop species, there are many vegetables which lack definitive data. Vegetable crops are defined as herbaceous species grown for human consumption in which the edible portions consist of leaves, roots, hypocotyls, stems, petioles, and flower buds. The salt tolerance of vegetable species is important because the cash value of vegetables is usually high compared to field crops. In this review some general information is presented on how salinity affects plant growth and development and how different measurements of salinity in solution cultures, sand cultures, and field studies can be reconciled to a common basis. The salt tolerance of vegetables has been condensed and reported in a uniform format based on the best available data. Discrepancies and inconsistencies exist in some of the information due to differences in cultivars, environments, and experimental conditions. For a great number of species little or no useful information exists and there is an obvious need for research. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. Keywords: Salt tolerance; Ion composition Contents 1. Introduction ............................................................ 7 1.1.

When Do Herbs & Spices Give Up the Ghost? The good news is, spices do not spoil. The bad news is, they lose their strength. What is interesting is that a lot of cookbook writers tell you to purge your pantry once an herb or spice is about 6 months old. But the spice companies — among them behemoth McCormick and specialty spicer Penzeys — are not so reckless. They tell you to keep and use the spices as long as they appear to have flavor — and they trust you to be able to tell! Stored in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place, spices retain their potency longer than you'd think — as long as 4 years for whole spices, 2 to 3 years for ground spices, and 1 to 3 years for leafy herbs, depending on the herb.

  • Gluten Contamination of Spices and Herbs
    Special Report: Gluten Contamination of Spices Gluten Free Watchdog, LLC Note: This report was originally published for subscribers to Gluten Free Watchdog. It has been modified for public dissemination. Manufacturer names and other identifying information have been removed and are available only to subscribers of Gluten Free Watchdog. If you wishof to have access to the full report you must subscribe. Single ingredient spices have long been considered naturally gluten-free. But a recently released report on gluten in ground spices from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has called into question whether spices may be contaminated with wheat, barley, and/or rye. Watchdog Definition of Spice The Food and Drug Administration defines spice as “any aromatic vegetable substance in the whole, broken, or ground form…whose significant function in food is seasoningProperty rather than nutritional.” What some people think of as herbs, such as thyme and sage because they come from the leafy portionFree of the plant are included in the FDA’s definition of spice as are “spices” that come from the other portions of the plant (e.g., roots, flowers, and seeds), such as cumin and clove. Canadian Food Inspection Agency Report: Gluten in Ground Spices The CFIA tested 268 samples of ground spices. 23 samples were domestically processed and 245 were imported. CFIA defines domestically processed spices as including spices being ground and/or packaged in Canada. According to correspondence Gluten Free WatchdogGluten had with CFIA, samples were tested using the Ridascreen Gliadin R7001 assay and extracted with the cocktail solution R7006 and the addition of milk powder (there will be more information about the use of milk powder later on in this report).
