Title: LBJ Pedernales River Chili
Categories: Main dish, Chili, Game, Ok
Yield: 8 servings
-formatted by S.Grabowski
4 lb Venison, bite size
- Chili grind fine *OR*
Chuck, well trimmed, ground
1 lg Onion, chopped
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 ts Oregano
1 ts Cumin seed
2 c Hot water
6 ts Chili powder
1 1/2 c Canned whole tomato
2 ds Liquid hot pepper sauce
Salt to taste
Place meat, onion and garlic in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven.
Cook until light colored. Add oregano, cumin, water, chili powder,
tomatoes, hot pepper sauce (more or less to taste), and salt. Bring
to a boil, lowering heat, and simmer for one hour. Skim off fat
during cooking. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Even more fat can be removed if chili
is stored in refrigerator, allowing fat to rise to the top and
solidify, when it can be easily removed. LBJ preferred venison in his
chili, and so did his doctor, because it is so lean and fat-free.
Ground beef heart is leaner still, and has a rich beef flavor with
the added value of high Vit B content. This recipe was tailored to
President Johnson after his first heart attack. Not only is it
relatively fat-free, it calls for lean venison, when available.The
local pronunciation of Pedernales is Purd-in-alice, and in this case
local extends at least from Texas to Washington,D.C., to New York
City. FROM: The Great American Chili Cookbook
