Instructions
- For chili, in a large saucepan heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add onion and celery and sauté until soft.
- Add minced beef and cook until browned. Add all remaining ingredients and simmer over medium-low heat 20-30 minutes.
- For the adventurous, add 2 tbsp (30 mL) bittersweet, allergen-free chocolate to chili and allow to melt. It rounds out the flavour.
- Chili can be refrigerated/reheated. Transport in a Thermos.
- For biscuits, preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Cut in butter, using pastry cutter or two forks, until mixture is crumbly.
- In a small bowl beat eggs (or egg replacer mix). Add buttermilk, cheddar and parsley, and mix thoroughly.
