Serves 6 to 8. Chili:
Garnishes: 1. In a large Dutch oven, cook the onions in the oil over medium heat until lightly browned. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef and cook until the meat is browned. Dilute the tomato paste in 2 cups water. Add the spice sachet, vinegar, diluted tomato paste, chile powder, cinnamon, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauces, season to taste with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally (or bake at 300°, covered). Remove and discard the spice sachet. Taste for seasoning and keep hot. 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli and cook for 9 minutes, or until firm and bouncy but cooked through. Drain well and transfer to a large serving bowl. 3. In a small pot, bring the beans and their canning liquid to the boil. Ladle the chili over the pasta, and then spoon the reserved beans over top. Sprinkle with the cheese and diced raw onion and serve immediately. |
