Halloween Chili Over Rego Chili.

[@artistlovepeace]

Molly is a wonderful cooking teacher. She knows her food. No joke.

[@lalehvazin8739]

It has almost all the ingredients of the Persian bean stew, Osh. The use of mint oil is so Persian.

[@itsdonuttime7729]

I understand that certain cultures have a certain slew of ingredients, but still if something is so reminiscent of things that already exist it is weird to call it by a different name and remove it's cultural origins. Hope Molly is not obfuscating the origins of a seemingly Persian dish.

[@albertquigley5236]

@@itsdonuttime7729 I see what you are saying, but this recipe definitely seems more like a classic American preparation of chili with Persian flavors than a riff on aush.

[@lalehvazin8739]

I actually love the way she uses ingredients from different cuisines. The use of mint in savory foods is very rare in western cuisine and I am glad Molly is making it more popular.@@itsdonuttime7729

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

@@itsdonuttime7729human cultures evolve. if we all strictly adhered to what things “are” and “aren’t”, persian stew would’ve never been invented. How many cultural foods evolved from another dish??? Virtually every culture has noodles. Stew is possibly the most rudimentary food of all time, of course many variations are going to be made that are similar…

[@peternoah6689]

A list of ingredients, with approximate quantities, if you're gonna try making this like me: 2 red onions 2 inches of ginger 1 head of garlic 1 can of black eyed peas 1 can of chickpeas 1 can of cannellini beans 2 pounds of ground beef 1 heaping spoonful of harissa 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (plus more to pickle onion) 1 bag of frozen spinach 14 oz can of cherry tomatoes with juices 3 cups of chicken stock 1 tablespoon coriander 1 tablespoon cumin 1 tablespoon turmeric 2-3 tablespoons of dried mint 2 bay leaves 1 cinnamon stick Salt & pepper Olive oil 1 small container of salted yogurt

Molly you are blowing my mind with your recipes! absolutely amazing!

[@Sunny31310]

Every video I just end up staring at that window, there's just something about it...

[@markmonteith3596]

Is there a link to the recipe somewhere that I’m missing? Looks amazing

[@1oduvan]

looks like smt Persian/Azerbaijani/Turkish

[@JP-nl6lb]

That chili looks dope af. TY for the vid yall!

[@sfephenmarkham1917]

Wow, that definitely is not a classic chile...having said that I bet this sucka is a flaver bomb!!! And you have the cutest laugh! Love your energy! cheers...

[@Chevyguy723]

I had to google "salted yog" lol... looks straight from the jar and delicious

[@cassidyjones8740]

this would be so good with ground lamb

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I made chili the other day. It was so good. I had the leftovers on nachos!

[@curtisdawg]

Seems more of a Kouraine or Harira recipe since she didn’t use any chilies in the recipe?

[@sheilamooney7049]

Interesting... how much beef is that? 1.5lb?

[@kchampz1093]

VERY non traditional chili here lol (I think there was just the ramekin of harissa for actual peppers in the recipe?) but still looks great. IDK what else you'd call it, beef/bean stew doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely as chili lol

[@benvanop]

yeah looks wicked

[@alinakhachatourian328]

This is a very Persian influenced recipe.

[@u140550]

Though I’m particularly about different types of chilies, and I feel I’ll enjoy this minus the mint or olive oil (I think a high point oil is better) or cinnamon sticks (I think a dash of cinnamon is fine). Glad you made it your own.

[@haileyspivey7629]

Just realized you and Dakota Johnson have similar mannerisms and looks!??

[@Daniel-cn3fw]

this is the cutest shit ever legend.

[@MadCuzBad_]

nice

[@TinyTree968]

What kind of pot do you use?

[@JosephStone330]

Molly, thank you for reaffirming how iconic my wife and I are ❤️

[@u140550]

Hmm, interesting

[@marym434]

No recipe?

[@SquibGourmand]

molly pls go to bed, it's like 4am

[@_DEADED]

No u

[@pinobluevogel6458]

I'm confused why this is a chili when there's not a single pepper involved, but it seems like a very tasty thing to try. Thanks for the recipe!

[@kindabluejazz]

She adds a big old glob of harissa at 6:09

[@kurtjohnson4816]

This is an interesting Middle Eastern style bean stew, although it would be too vinegary for me. Like some others, I'm a little perplexed that she's calling it chili. I saw Pepin do this on his show, making a stew with beans and a little bacon and calling it chili. I saw another one make a vegetarian "chili" with no meat and no chiles, so maybe the name chili now just means whatever kind of stew, and we'll have to come up with another name for actual chili.

[@wesleywhite5055]

I think it's just easy to shortcut ground meat + beans + tomatos + spice to chili

[@ze_ep]

This recipe contains chiles. What do you think harissa is? And if you mean chili con carne, just say that. Chili cops are the worst.

[@NoahBroughton]

The only problem I have with this recipe is you can tell she used that raw beef contaminated salt in the pickled red onions….

[@ghostgirl6970]

I have watched SO many chefs do that - chefs I otherwise trust! They have big bowl of salt and dip into it repeatedly with chickeny hands, and then they use it for something else. I'm wondering if the salt kills things or something because ewww.

[@kate-np9rz]

@@ghostgirl6970 ohh so bad, Pepin does that shizz too drives me mad

[@virginiaf.5764]

The thing is, if you're using coarse kosher-type salt, which most do, what little stuff is on your fingertips doesn't make it into the remaining salt. It really doesn't .... I do it all the time. The salt is not contaminated.

[@naziahrana]

There was a cut between the scene she was forming the beef balls and the shot where she dips her hand in the salt. Its also likely she washed her hands before dipping into the salt.

[@kate-np9rz]

@@naziahrana that should be all shown if she's teaching ppl how to cook, proper hygiene is part of the process.

[@greatone1939]

As a "purist" I'd have no problem with this dish and actually look forward to trying it out for myself. But calling it chili is the issue. Call it a bean stew or something like that and you won't have us Texans getting snobby lol

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Agreed. I'm not even Texan or remotely from a place where chili is a local dish or a tradition and I'm confused by the title also. Still a great stew though, looks tasty for sure.

[@kindabluejazz]

Nobody outside of Texas cares what Texans think about chile. This is Molly's version of chili, and she admitted it was very 'non-traditional'.

[@kate-np9rz]

@@kindabluejazz non-traditional to the point where it's a whole new recipe

[@kindabluejazz]

@@kate-np9rz A thick stew of meat and/or beans with chiles, garlic, onions, tomatoes, warm spices. That's a chili - get over it.

[@kate-np9rz]

@@kindabluejazz I'm not saying her dish is bad, it's just not a chili. It's where she got the idea for it but it should have it's own cool proper name. I like it when she makes wild stuff, I think she's good at it and it's fun to watch some very new combinations to me.

[@CB-nk4hr]

Chickpeas, ginger, spinach, harissa? Love ya Molly but that's not chili. BTW, where are the chiles? You were right when you called it a middle easternish dish. Not saying it's not good, it's just not chili, no matter how you spoon it up.

[@itsdonuttime7729]

harissa has chilis

[@CB-nk4hr]

I know what Harissa is, I was referring to dried hatch, pasilla, guajillo, ancho and chile de arbol used in traditional chili. Ironically, I had a big pot of chili going at the time I watched this video so it really struck a nerve. @@itsdonuttime7729

[@kate-np9rz]

@@CB-nk4hr I hear you, I think she's just a bit drunk doing some wild card recipe. Also mint, like what.. no.
