Chili Con Seppo For the last 12 years I have been telling people that Alternative Country will be the next punk rock. While it remains my favorite genre of music, the revolution has NOT been televised. So... in the wake of new releases by legendary cowpunks The Old 97's and new(ish) kids on the block, Richmond Fontaine, whose album Post to Wire is laced with Cashesque tragedy and Rolling Stonesesque riffs, I thought I would cook up some southwestern style eats. If you don't have these two albums, go get them now, and in the mean time, put on some Calexico, and lets get cookin'.  Ingredients:
650 Grams Mince (Hamburger, Aussie Stizz) 3 Slices Bacon 1 Finely Chopped Chilli 2 Cans Whole Peeled Tomatoes 2 Tins Red Kidney Beans, drained 2 Clove's Garlic 2 Medium Onions 1 Tsp Tumeric 1 Tsp Ground chilies 1 Tbsp Garlic Chili Sauce 1 Cup Red Wine 1 cinnamon Stick 1 Cup Water Salt and Pepper to taste  Slice up your bacon, chop your onion, finely chop your garlic, and finely chop up the chili, seeds and all (for added fire). Get a pot on the hob, medium high, and throw in your bacon. Once the bacon has cooked a couple of minutes, gone a bit crispy and the fat is released, add your chilies, onions and garlic. Stir for about 4 minutes, then add your mince. Stir until the mince is nearly cooked, then add about 3 tsps salt, cracked pepper, tumeric, ground chilies and garlic chili sauce. Give it a stir, and add the red wine. Let the wine reduce, about 4 minutes, and add your tomatoes. Use a spoon to break them up a bit, and give the whole thing a good stir. Add the beans and water, and give it another stir. Let the whole thing come to a boil, add the cinnamon stick, turn the stove down to simmer, and put a lid on it.
You'll need to chill for an hour or so, while all those flavors come together. Since I have Neko Case over, I'm just going to let her play me a couple of tunes, and maybe have a cuddle. If you're not so lucky, put on some BR-549, or maybe my old partners in crime (who made me sing dressed up as Baby New Year), Accident Clearinghouse, and drink a couple of Pabst Blue Ribbons. Serve the chili up in bowls with some shredded colby cheese and sour cream. Yeeee haaaa!!!!
