In light of the recent happenings in Washington, I thought it would be fun to include this recipe for President-elect Barak Obama's favorite food - Chili.

According to steadyhealth.com, Obama has been using this recipe since college. Here's the DinnerBeat version so you can add it to your recipe box.

1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
Several cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey or beef
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground oregano
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground basil
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Several tomatoes, depending on size, chopped
1 can red kidney beans

Saute onions, green pepper and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add ground meat and brown. Combine spices together into a mixture, then add to ground meat. Add red wine vinegar. Add tomatoes and let simmer, until tomatoes cook down. Add kidney beans and cook for a few more minutes. Serve over white or brown rice. Garnish with grated cheddar cheese, onions and sour cream.

Looks delicious! Have you tried it? Let me know. I'll be trying it in the next few days and will update this post.
