My review
Aush (Afghani Chili)
0
Bonnie C
"This is a delicious and exotic alternative to American-style chili. It's not too spicy, but combines intriguing flavors. I adapted this recipe from a traditional Afghani family favorite. It may be cooked in a slow cooker, Dutch oven, or soup pot. Try it also with ground lamb or ground turkey."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; remove with slotted spoon to a large pot; reserving drippings in the skillet. Cook and stir the onion in the reserved drippings until golden brown; remove with slotted spoon and add to beef in the pot. Stir the tomatoes with juice, garlic, red pepper, cumin, chili powder, mint, garam masala, garbanzo beans, and spinach into the beef mixture and place the pot over low heat; simmer 3 to 6 hours.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the fettuccini, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Stir into the chili along with the sour cream and serve hot.

Awesome recipe. Would be good with egg noodles instead of fettucine. Smells great while cooking and tastes just as good! Thanks for this unique, yummy one!

I followed the recipe exactly except for using linguini instead of fettuccini. I thought it smelled amazing throughout the house. However, the flavours did not come out so much due to the lack o...

Doesn't look anything like North American style chili so don't be expecting that. Still delicious though!

Nice and spicy, just the way we like it. Very aromatic as it's simmering those 3-6 hours...and it tasted as good as it smelled. Thanks for the recipe...I didn't change a thing.
