What Type Of Flour To Use In Chili?


Bugsly

Recommended Posts

Bugsly Newbie

I am going to be trying out a new chili recipe and am wondering what would be the best type of flour to use in my chili seasoning. I was thinking about Bob's Red Mill as it is more of a bean flour and I have had success in using it with gumbo's.

Anyway, just wanted to get your ideas :)

Thanks in advance!!!!

:huh: :huh: :huh:

I've never put flour in chili. If it's a bit thin, I use tomato paste, but it's even better to just let it cook down. Of course, I don't add any water in the first place, so all that's cooking down is any juice from the tomatoes...

I don't add much or any water. If it seems a little watery, I rip up some corn tortillas into little bits and let them cook in and thicken it. That makes me think you could use a little corn meal or corn starch. I have used Pamelas or Kinnick? Baking mixes, a couple of tbsps in sauce to thicken it.

I think I might just try to make it without flour and let it simmer down to a thicker sauce and keep the water to a minimum. I used to use masa flour as a thickener, but I am corn intollerant too :( Thanks for the ideas everyone!

I've never used a thickener in chili either. The longer you cook it, the thicker it gets. I would simmer it longer uncovered :)

I never use flour in my chili either. I like to make it in my crockpot and let it simmer away.

White corn flour of course. The chili mixes use Masa flour which is a corn flour. Easily found in any grocery store in the international food aisle. also cheap.

I normally don't use flour in my chili either, as like many above me have said, I don't really add water, most of the liquids come from the tomato paste. But if you want to thicken something, I swear by my arrowroot starch. (Warning, a little bit goes a long way and don't heat it too fast.)

I've never heard of putting flour in chili. :blink:

I use tomato paste and Heinz tomato soup to make it thick. I don't add any water at all.

Flour ? :ph34r:

I used canned pumpkin. Works really well.

I have never put flour in chili. Just chili powder and sometimes some cocoa.

I used some Better Batter AP flour mix in some chicken stew and it thickened things up nicely. I'd use that with chili, or perhaps some cornstarch.

I made a taco seasoning mix that called for corn starch. I've never put flour in my chili, pre or post gluten-free. I know there was a thread for easy chili a month or so ago...perhaps it would be helpful to search that out. I know there were lots of recipes posted.

I've never put flour in chili. :huh: Mine is just beans, canned tomatoes, meat, then a bunch of spices -- cumin, chili powder, etc. Cook it for awhile. Eat. yummmmm.....

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
