Happy National Chili Week!
This first week of October celebrates the nationwide American creation: chili. Derived from "chile con carne" (the Spanish phrase indicating "chili with meat"), American chili is, at its most basic, a melange of ground or diced beef spiced with ground chili powder or fresh chiles. Although it's considered sacrilege to add beans to the dish in Texas, where the dish originated and is often dubbed a "bowl of red," chili is an extremely versatile one-plate meal, and can be infinitely adjusted with a variety of spices, meats, beans and other additions.

Hearty Chili - Feast Your Eyes

Is it too early to switch kitchen talk from cool green salads to warm, hearty stews? Never, when it comes to chili. Whether you like a classic chili con carne; a steak-rich smokin' Texas chili; a pork-cannelini bean-and lime juice-based white chili, or a three-bean vegetarian chili, this is the low-cooked, slow-cooked food that seems just right as the leaves start putting on their autumn display.
Blogger browneyedbaker is a chili con carne fan, who, in this recipe, uses cornmeal to thicken the pot. Chef Marcus Samuelsson gives chipotles their moment in the sun in his recipe.
And visit Kitchen Daily for dozens of other chili recipes that are bound to spice up your table.

Swiss Chard Chili - Feast Your Eyes

Put a little green in your chili. No, not green peppers but greens like Swiss chard. Rich, succulent chard adds texture, deep flavor, and, a healthy dose of Vitamins A and C to the mix. This easy recipe comes from blogger veggiefrog, who also piles on the white beans and garlic. (See yesterday's post for more on chili,)
Swiss chard comes in a rainbow of varieties and colors, and a couple of my favorites are 'Rhubarb' and 'Ruby Red'. Its perfect in its simplest form, braised with olive oil and garlic, as in this recipe from Kitchen Daily contributor Alexis Touchet. And if you want to include it in an absolutely delicious one-dish dinner, try contributor Ruth Cousineau's Nutty Swiss Chard, Squash, and Cannelini Bake.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili - Feast Your Eyes

Chili with a sweet side? Bring it on. Blogger flyzipper (which, we assume, has nothing to do with food, but let's just stop there) turns up the heat in this vegetarian chili with jalapeños and hot banana peppers, but balances it with sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, and adzuki beans (as well as black beans). Adzuki are the mellow-flavored red beans used well in Asian foods, such as the sweet and sticky daifuku mochi (rice cakes stuffed with red-bean paste).
