Instructions

Recipe by: Kenny Rogers, Midwest Living, October 1994 Drain the pineapple, reserving the syrup. In a Dutch oven, cook the pork, half at a time, in hot olive oil until brown. Return all of the meat to the pot. Add the first chopped onion and 1 garlic clove. Cook over medium heat until the onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Add the reserved pineapple syrup, undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, green chili peppers, green pepper, onion, 2 garlic cloves, chili powder, cumin, jalapenos and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce the heat. Cover and simmer the chili for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the pineapple chunks. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes longer. Let the diners add their own toppers. Makes 8 to 10 servings. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B).
