Pumpkin chili people

[fussbucket]

Give me your recipes, I'm ready to try this for the first time!

I have a pumpkin.

[Muddled]

I have no recipes for pumpkin chili, but you looked lonely in here.
HI!

[Muddled]

But really, would you not just add pumpkin to regular chili and maybe change up the spices a bit? Add more corriander, some cilantro, etc.

[fussbucket]

See I don't know, because I have no fucking idea what pumpkin chili is supposed to be. You're talking to a lady who's made chili with pineapple in it before. I'm extremely liberal in my chili attitudes.

Oh man I've never heard of this but it sounds like it has the potential to be awesome. Please share if you find a recipe!

AND FWIW I love chili with pineapple in it.

[Muddled]

I have never considered chili with pineapple before.

A little natural peanut butter could be good in there, too.

[fussbucket]

Hm peanut butter? We don't do peanuts in our house and I'm thinking our precious cashew butter is too valuable to go dumping in chili.

I do put chocolate in my Cincinnati style chili though. Mmmmmmmm....

[Muddled]

I would not waste cashew butter on chili, no way.

The PB is an homage to my West African days. It's good with sweet potatoes, why not pumpkin?

(and I am chowing down on PB filled pretzels right now)

[fussbucket]

Oh indeed, I dip my pickled okra in it!

[Muddled]

Pickled okra. Indian style or dill style? I am trying to imagine either of these with PB.

In the end, all it makes me think of is the green tomatoes I got to fry.

This is the recipe I used, but I made a few changes. allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-chili/detail.aspx


-I only used 1lb of ground meat (I used turkey)
-I most definitely used less than a whole onion
-I used a can of kidney beans and a can of cannellini beans
-I used an entire can of canned pumpkin.
-I skipped the tomato juice and instead went with one large (28oz) can of diced tomatoes and 2 medium sized cans (don't ask me for more details on the size ... it's medium) of tomatoes with jalapenos.
-I make my own pumpkin pie spice, but am positive that if you combine the cinnamon, nutmeg allspice etc that I used it was definitely over 1 tbsp
-I also added paprika and maybe a dash of cayenne

Ok, so pretty much the only thing I did as instructed was use a whole green bell pepper, but it's delicious. Most of the things I changed are minor, but you will want to add some additional spices at the end

This recipe looks good.

So why did I think pumpkin chili was going to have, like, chunks of pumpkin in it? If all I needed was a can I'd have braved this a long time ago.

I might still do the chunks.

I made a recipe for Chipotle Pumpkin Black Bean Soup once. It's a Rachel Ray recipe from The Big Orange Book. Topped off with Apple Pico de Gallo, and sour cream. I always thought it would have been delicious with some chicken in it, but it was really delicious and filling as it was.

But I've never made pumpkin chili. It sounds good though.

[Muddled]

I would do chunks. I like chunks.

[PinkSquirrel]

I love using real pumpkin when I'm not being lazy, so I support pumpkin chunks
