“The ingredients for Pedernales River chili are: 4 pounds of chili-meat; I large chopped onion; 2 cloves of garlic; 1 teaspoon of oregano (Spanish for the wild marjoram, which grows in Texas); 1 teaspoon of ground cumin seeds; 6 teaspoons of chili powder (or more if you want it warmly flavored); 2 sixteen-ounce cans of tomatoes; salt to suit you; 2 cups of hot water. Put the meat, the onion, and the garlic cloves, which have been finely chopped, in a large skillet and sear until grayish. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for an hour with the cover on the skillet. Skim off the grease.”
