INSTRUCTIONS

This is hardly a traditional (Texas) recipe for chili, but it turned
out pretty good.  First, make the pot likker. Wash and soak the collard
greens, remove  the leaves from the stems, and put into a large pot.
Add water,  vinegar, tabasco peppers, garlic cloves, onion, smoked pork
jowl, and  black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for
six to  eight hours. Remove and reserve collards for another meal;
strain pot  likker and reserve.  Now, add pinto beans and bay leaves to
the pot likker, bring to a  boil, and simmer until beans are semi-soft.
Cut smoked chuck roast  into bite-sized chunks and add to the pot. Fry
up hamburger, drain  fat, chop, and add to the pot. In a small frying
pan roast the cumin  and mustard seeds, crush in a mortar and pestle,
and add to the  chili. Add all other ingredients, bring to a boil,
reduce heat, and  simmer for 2 hours, stirring occassionally. Remove
from heat, and  serve. Recipe By     : Tom Solomon  Posted to
