Unwritten Thank You notes weigh on my conscience. I begin to feel guilt and worry if I don’t compose and send them close to immediately after the event or reason that inspired them.

As the month of November is traditionally one of thanks and gratitude, I took the opportunity to catch up on all of my outstanding words and gestures of appreciation, and this quick, easy and heartwarming Turkey and Chorizo Chili gave me the time I needed to sit and write.

TURKEY AND CHORIZO CHILI

turkey and chorizo chili

1 tablespoon oil

8 ounces chorizo, crumbled

1 1/4 pounds ground turkey

black pepper

2 ears of corn, scraped from the cobs, cobs reserved and broken in half

2 cups chicken stock

2 tablespoons pureed chipotle in adobo sauce, using peppers and sauce

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 to 4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 can red beans

a handful of fresh cilantro leaves

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and brown. Add the turkey and break up, then season with black pepper. When the turkey is browned, add in the corn.

Place the reserved corn cobs in a small pot and add the stock. Bring to a bubble and simmer.

Add the chipotle puree to the meat mixture, stirring until fragrant. Add the cinnamon, garlic and onions, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomato paste and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Remove the cobs from the stock, then add the stock and beans to the chili, and stir to combine.

To serve, top with cilantro.

Enjoy!

RED BEANS AND RICE

Cajun, New Orleans, red beans, rice, smoked sausage

I cooked Red Beans and Rice early one afternoon, and with a houseful of kids plus a hamper full of laundry, I wanted something on the table that was quick and easy.

All of the kids commented on how good it smelled while it was simmering on the stove – I left if for much longer than the 10 minutes specified in the recipe as I was busy doing laundry, vacuuming and cleaning the sink, as well as answering the door and gathering up the kids that were on their way home.

My husband and I were attending a fundraiser that evening, and our sitter was coming straight from her full time job, so I didn’t want her to have to do more than was necessary. Once the house had cleared out, I had a quick shower and cooked the rice, therefore dinner was ready to go when we were ready to go out the door.

RED BEANS AND RICE

red beans and rice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 to 1 pound of smoked sausage, coarsely chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

1 green bell pepper, finely chopped

1/2 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 (15-ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup beef broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 bay leaf

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

cooked rice for serving

In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beans, beef broth, cumin, thyme, bay leaf and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 (or more) minutes.

Serve the beans over the rice.

Enjoy!
