Notes: Provencal Chili
This Chili recipe was created when I visited France with Michael & Catherine Tiersten several short weeks after the 9/11 attacks. We were unsure how the locals would treat us. We were delighted by the warm greetings and words of sympathy we received from people all over French. It occurred to me that a combination of the flavors, spices and wines of Southern France (Provence region) combined with traditional American chili flavors could change the world by bringing two cultures together. Well, we didn’t change the world but hope you like this chili.
