Cincinnatti Five Way Chili  from Jack Thibault

This recipe is closely guarded in Cincinnati, "Chili Capitol of the US." Served originally by Greek immigrants in the 1920's. There are now franchises, particularly the Skyline Chili Parlors, which serve a great Five-Way chili. Five way chili is a one-plate lunch or dinner. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy to adjust to your own taste. Don't be put off by all of the spices, there is no wrong way to make this. Recipe for 4
1 pound chuck, ground fine
2 medium chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup water
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 ounce unsweetened chocolate, grated
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon mace
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 dry bay leaf
Put a small amount of oil into a pan and turn to medium heat. Add meat, onions, and garlic. Cook until all meat is browned. Add tomato sauce, ketchup, water and vinegar. As mixture begins to boil add everything else.

Cover and simmer at very low heat for about one hour, stirring and tasting occasionally, adding tomato juice if it is getting too dry to ladle up easily.

The first time you make it try to stay close to the recipe. The next time around you can adjust the various spices. Salt for perking up, turmeric and cumin for a sweatier chili flavor, cinnamon, cloves and mace if you want it sweeter, cardamom for more bang, unsweetened chocolate for body. I think one of the secret ingredients i s the red wine vinegar. I have tried it both ways and it is much better with the vinegar in the recipe.

Constructing The Chili
  1. The bottom layer is always spaghetti. I use linguine for a little heavier noodle. You will need two to three ounces per serving. Spread them out and completely cover the plate.
  2. Next comes the chili, cover the noodles.
  3. Kidney beans or something I have added pinquitos. I think they are a little more interesting than the kidney bean. Either way do not season them, they are there for texture.
  4. Chopped onions. Spread them out to taste.
  5. Spread cheddar cheese on quickly so it melts a bit. Don't skimp on the cheese unless you have to. The cheese should cover the plate so you can pat it into a neat mound with your hands, just the way they do in Cincinnati.
If desired, omit either the beans or onions, or both, for Three-Way or Four-Way Chili. Whatever beverages you may choose to serve make sure they are ice cold. Accompany with saltines or oyster crackers.
