1 lb. ground meat
1 med. onion
3-4 garlic buds
2 jalapeño or serrano chili peppers
1 6-oz. can tomato paste
1 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. cumin (Fresh ground cumin seeds are best!)
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. coriander (fresh ground coriander seeds!)
1/4 tsp. turmeric

This recipe is 1000 times better with fresh ingredients and freshly ground spices instead of packaged chili powder!

For more hotness, use more jalapeño or serrano peppers. For less hotness, use fewer. The difference between jalapeño and serrano peppers, jalapeños are larger; serranos are smaller.

Remove stems and seeds from chili peppers.
Chop onion, garlic and chili peppers and brown in about 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add the ground meat, crumble with a wooden spoon, and sauté until the meat is browned.

Put the ground meat mixture in a flaishig food processor with the can of tomato paste, add the spices and blend all together. Return to saucepan, add water as needed, and simmer for about 45 minutes.

Serve over hot dogs with mustard and chopped red onions.
