Cincinnati 5-Way Chili
Yield: Makes 4 main-dish servings
Spicy 5-Way Chili, seasoned with sweet spices and dark cocoa, has a flavor reminiscent of Mexican mole sauce. The chili originated in Cincinnati, Ohio, where chili parlors stand on many street corners. The chili is served alone, 1 way, 2 ways over spaghetti, 3 ways with added beans, 4 ways with chopped onions, or 5 ways with shredded cheese!
Ingredients:
3/4
pound ground turkey
1
cup chopped onion, divided
3
cloves garlic, minced
1
can (8 ounces) reduced-sodium tomato sauce
3/4
cup water
1
to 2 tablespoons chili powder
1
tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1
to 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2
teaspoon ground allspice
1/2
teaspoon paprika
1
bay leaf
1/8
teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
Salt and black pepper
8
ounces hot cooked spaghetti
1/2
cup (2 ounces) shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese
1/2
cup red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Preparation:
1.
Cook and stir turkey in medium saucepan over medium heat about 5 minutes or until browned and no longer pink. Drain fat. Add 1/2 cup onion and garlic; cook about 5 minutes or until onion is tender.
2.
Add tomato sauce, water, chili powder, cocoa, vinegar, cinnamon, allspice, paprika, bay leaf and cloves, if desired; bring to a boil.
