<\/center><\/p>\nWell, there’s the ingredients for the pot of lazychili<\/a> (yes, modifications are quite allowed) that I made for the potluck thing at work tomorrow. I hope people like it… It’s pretty damn spicy.<\/p>\n One thing I learned is that the cactus should be cut up before putting it in the chili. Towards the end of the cooking I realized that it would be too stringy, so I stirred as many pieces of cactus (as possible) to the top, pulled them out with a fork, then chopped them and put them back in. Oh, and cactus has a texture somewhere between a nicely cooked green bean and perfectly cooked bamboo shoots. And it comes soaking in a thick vinegar sauce with herbs and onions and a pepper. I pulled out the pepper and onion before dumping it in the pot, though, as I didn’t want those large pieces swimming around in there.<\/p>\n The only ingredients used above and beyond what you see above are a bit of cocoa powder (maybe 1 tbsp), some salt, and a large pinch of black pepper. Oh, and love. (No, not that<\/em> kind of love. Sicko.)<\/p>\n I should probably note that the bottle of beer is my Rochefort 10 Clone (photo gallery retired)<\/em> which, unfortunately, never carbonated. It’s very malty and alcoholic, though, and it goes really well in food. So I guess it’ll be relegated to the duty of a nice, malty, cooking beer. Oh well…<\/p>\n Anyway, that’s the lazychili. And here is a photo of the lazychili in the pot, just as it was starting to boil<\/a>.<\/p>\n
