Ok this was accidental and exact measurements are uncertain (and only pussies rely on exact measurements when cooking)
4 Fire roasted red peppers (I don't know who makes them but basically they come soaked in spices like garlic and halapeno)
1 regular red pepper
4-5 green peppers (I used frozen)
Diced tomatoes (1 can)
tomato puree (2 cans)
2 onions
scallions
Cilantro
Parsley
Red Pepper (spice not vegetable)
Garbonzo beans.
Ok, the way I did it was to throw the fire roasted peppers and the green peppers into a crockpot. Then I cut up some onions and threw in tomato puree. As I was making meatloaf, I realized that I couldn't use all the onions or red pepper for the meatloaf (I kind of overdid that already) so I threw those in. At this point, I said to myself "shit, this smells like chile" so I added in the diced tomatoes and the spices. I overdid the red pepper and worried that I'd burn my mouth, I dumped a bunch of parsley in there to cut that shit down.
And then since I had a dinner invite and knew that I was slow cooking the thing, I threw in the garbonzo beans. If I was doing it on purpose I would have soaked them beforehand. However, by the time I ate the chile (after shabbos as I also had a lunch and a seudah shlishit invite) the beans were cooked.
It was damn good. Usually I don't get that lucky. I also accidentally made brownies when I was trying to mix pudding mix with cocoanut milk and figured that I had an egg and flour that wasn't doing anything so why not? The meatloaf was on purpose and for a meal (this time I avoided the mistake of using spinach but I overdid the onions and red peppers. It was still devoured)
