8 Tbsp Tamarind Sauce
2 Tbsp MIM Chili Seasoning
pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions:

• Heat a large pot on medium to medium high heat.
• Add ground turkey and chopped onion.  Cook meat and onion until just about done.  (Drain off some of the grease at this point if you prefer.)
• Add salt and MIM Chili Seasoning.  Stir for one minute until the meat is well coated with the seasoning.
• Add in water, tomatoes, tomato sauce, peppers, pinto beans, and Tamarind Sauce.  
• Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.  Cover and simmer for 5 - 10 minutes. 

This  chili was delicious!  It was not too spicy at all, but had almost a small tint of sweetness to it.  A great meal that is healthy and filling.

What is a Cooking Demo & Tasting?

Today I had a great "practice" Cooking Demo and Tasting.  I invited several friends and neighbors that I am comfortable around and was able to do a mock Demo & Tasting.   I did a practice run, so I felt confident in cooking while I talked about this great company. 

I made 3 different dishes - Pad Thai, Cashew Orange Chicken, and Basil Green Curry.  I also had several sauces, that I did not cook with, ready to sample.  The yummy Onion Green Chili Dip was also out for sampling with chips or vegetables.



At a Cooking Demo & Tasting, I demonstrate how to cook with these sauces and everyone has the chance to taste the great flavor of the dish and the other sauces.  Cooking the dishes right in front of the guests is a great way for them to see how easy it is to use the sauces.  These dishes are quick and easy to cook and are usually a "one pot meal" when I use my electric wok (or a stir-fry pan).  I'm also available to answer any questions.

Thanks to my terrific friends for letting me cook them lunch!  (And of course, I forgot to take a picture during all of the fun, so instead you get a picture of ME!)  Don't forget to Become A Follower.
