Preparation

Step 1
Chop half of tomatoes; puree rest, with a food processor if possible.
Step 2

Step 3
If desired, freeze in portions suitable for individual or family use. To serve, defrost and reheat. While chili is cooking make salad.

Tip

Pure chili powder contains only the ground pepper, no other spices. To make the dish with beef, sauté one pound of regular ground beef in its fat until browned. Thoroughly drain excess fat and add the meat to the sautéed onions and garlic and proceed with the recipe.
