POT O GOLD CHILI
4 Tablespoons lard, oil, or shortening
6 pounds extra-lean beef chuck, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
2 pounds extra lean pork loin, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
3 large onions, finely chopped
4 ribs celery, finely chopped
10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 can (6 ounces) tomato sauce
3 cups rich brown stock (homemade)*
6 to 12 ounces high quality bourbon whiskey
1 bottle (12 ounces) dark beer
3 Tablespoons cumin
1 Tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
3 heaping Tablespoons New Mexico chili powder
3 Tablespoons heaping Pasilla chili powder
3 Tablespoons heaping crushed chili quebrado,
1 teaspoon mace
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Chopped cilantro (fresh coriander), for garnish

In an 8 quart or larger Dutch oven, melt the lard over medium heat. Brown the beef and pork cubes in the fat. Transfer the browned meat to a large, low sided stockpot or Dutch oven, and reserve the fat in the pan.

Saute the onions, celery, and garlic in the remaining fat until the vegetables are soft and golden but not brown. Add them to the meat. Stir in the tomato sauce, beef stock, and bourbon.

Pour the beer into a bowl and add the cumin, oregano, nutmeg, sugar, cocoa, chili powder, chili quebrado, mace, salt, and pepper. Stir the seasonings into the meat mixture, and simmer the chili uncoverd for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. If more liquid is needed to maintain consistency, add either water, beer, or bourbon. Serves about 20.

Aaron Gobragh was excited. He had practiced countless times for this very moment, and finally perfected his Pot O Gold chili. Now, he thought, now victory is within my grasp. He'd monitored his station carefully, almost dozing at one point, but he wouldn't have missed anyone trying to tamper, or would he?

He ladled samples to the judges standing before him. "Nice color" said one. Aaron watched them taste it and pictured himself with the trophy......until he saw their faces contort and spit out his chili. Then he noticed the empty bottle of soy sauce behind his station. The cheaters have struck!

Blade6119 has been eliminated. Day 2 deadline is 10PM Eastern tonight.
