cajun pork chili

January 19th, 2010

You may not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes cajun pork chili but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat cajun pork chili or other high calorie soups, gumbos, chili every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I want – within reason of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have simply been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also think it is helpful if you have some support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Cajun Pork Chili

2 pounds ground pork
2 large onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 sweet red bell pepper, chopped
1 sweet green bell pepper, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes
1 (28 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Dash of hot pepper sauce
Salt and pepper

If you prefer a more traditional chili flavor, use cumin instead of oregano, and add chili powder to taste.

In a heavy saucepan, cook the pork over medium heat, stirring   to break up the meat, for about 5 minutes or until browned. Pour off the fat.

Add onions, and cook until tender. Add garlic, red and green peppers and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until vegetables are softened.

Add tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of a spoon. Stir in kidney beans, hot pepper flakes, oregano, cayenne pepper, hot pepper sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Bring  to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
