1. cook meat about 20 minutes until they lose pink color but not browned
(I personally don't know what that means, since it goes from brown to
pink...) Transfer to a bowl. 2. heat oil in same pan and sautee onions 10
to 20 minutes, until `translucent.
3. stir meat into onions. Add tomatojuice (I used puree instead cause I
had it), 3 cups of water, the chili powder, cumin, oregano, cocoa,
cinnamon, and salt. (Ann is going to cut down on the cinnamon next time but
I didn't think it was too much at all) Blend. Bring to boil, uncovered, for
an hour. 4. taste for sea soning, add more chili powder if you like (in my
opinion, you can add more of ANYTHING if you like) 5. Stir in the garlic,
corn meal, and beans. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with garnishes (I
usually serve rice but did this for a change & loved it). Deb for serving:
chopped onion, shredded lettuce, flour tortillas (but I ate it with
pimento instead of onion it was prettier and delicious) with pimento
instead of onion ~ it was prettier and delicious)
