~Hearty Chili~

1 1/2 lbs ground beef or hamburger
2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion chopped
1 medium green pepper chopped
3 stalks celery chopped
1 large clove garlic chopped
3 carrots chopped into tiny pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon coriander
2 tablespoons cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 large cans (#2 1/2) tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
1 can tomato puree
3 cups canned red kidney beans (cooked)

In a skillet or any deeper pot add oil. Add the chopped fresh vegetables. Stir and sauté until tender. Add the ground beef or hamburger and cook until all red is gone. Add all of the spices, tomatoes, paste, and puree. Add the extra heat if desired. Stir and cook for about 2 hours with heat turned down to simmer. About five minutes before serving time, add the red kidney beans and stir only once or twice. Too much stirring will crush the kidney beans.

~Navajo Fry Bread~

4 cups All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cups Water
1 cup Vegetable shortening

In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder, and the salt, stir in the water, and knead the mixture on a floured surface until it forms a soft but not sticky dough. Let the dough stand, covered with a kitchen towel, for 15 minutes. Pull off egg-size pieces of the dough and stretch them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Poke a hole with a finger through the center of each round so that the breads will fry evenly. In a large heavy skillet heat the shortening over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it fry the rounds, 1 at a time, for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden, and transfer the breads as they are fried to paper towels to drain.
