Green Arrow's Chili


I finally got a chance to make Green Arrow's Chili. My friend Matt told me about this recipe a while ago and I've always wanted to make it. The real name is "Ollie's Stupendous Chili" but some call it Green Arrow's Chili. This was originally printed in Green Lantern Vol 2 #85 (August, 1971). The recipe and image can be found at DC Comics Database. As you can tell from everyone's' reactions this chili is supposed to be really spicy.


I couldn't find the three types of chili powders it called for so I just substituted them with three others. The recipe didn't call for them but I decided to add a tablespoon of Chili Pinquins. They're tiny hot peppers with 140,000 heat units (a jalapeno pepper is about 7,000). This chili is very flavorful and delicious. As to be expected it is also very hot. Too hot for some people and some people like me, loved it. I say give it a try if you love spicy food. But be warned, it's hot and delicious.
