One of the most popular foods to eat while watching the
N.Y. Giants defeat the New England Patriots on Sunday will be chili.
Today on Good Day New York, viewers learned how to prepare a hearty -- but easy --
version by the winner of the 2012 Golden Chilifest.
Barbara Sibley is chef and owner of La Palapa located on St. Mark's Place (and my dear cousin).

La Palapa's Award-Winning Chili Recipe
Serves 6
2 lbs gound beef
6 guajillo chiles
12 chiles de arbol
2 cups chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 cups tomato puree
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf
2-3 tablespoons salt
¼ cup corn oil
2 cups cooked pinto beans
1 cup chopped red peppers
1 cup chopped poblano chiles
½ cup chopped jalapeños
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1.
Wipe the chile de arbol and guajillo chiles clean with a damp paper
towel. Place in a non reactive bowl and pour one cup of boiling water
over them. Allow to soak for 20 minutes. Blend well in a blender with as
much of the soaking water as is need to blend well. Strain through a
sieve. Set aside chile puree.
2. In a deep sauté pan or 3 quart
stock pot add the corn oil, onion and garlic and cook at medium heat
until translucent. Add the beef and sauté until cooked.
3. Add
the tomato and chile puree to the beef and cook for about 3 minutes at
medium heat. Add in the cloves, cumin, black pepper, thyme, bay leaves
and salt. Continue to sauté for one or two minutes or until the spices
are aromatic.
4. Stir in the cooked beans, chopped red pepper,
poblano chiles , jalapeños and cilantro. Lower heat to a simmer and cook
about 15 minutes or until some of the liquid is reduced.
5. Chili is always best the next day when the flavors mellow.
