CPC, Joan Crockatt: "Stampede Treat!"

Dear friends,

please, read this message that the member of Parliament Joan Crockatt has sent to us, supporters of Conservative Party of Canada:


Antonio Gabriele,

As an unabashed Calgarian, I look forward to the Stampede every year.

Cowboy hats, riding a horse in the parade, country tunes, and beef-on-a-bun - it’s got something for everyone. And of course you can’t forget the smell of all the great barbeque treats sizzling on the grill!

Our family’s Stampede tradition includes going to the Grandstand together and (if we're lucky) a big BBQ at our home. We love firing up the grill with friends and family.

In celebration of ‘The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,’ I wanted to share my favourite Stampede-time recipe with you. It’s always a hit with my family, and I’m sure it will be a hit with yours too:

Joan's Kicking Horse Chili Recipe

You’ll need:
2 packs of lean ground beef
2 large Spanish onions
2 large cans of tomatoes
2 small cans of Hunt's tomato paste
4 jalapeños - or less, if you’re afraid!
A tablespoon of Demerara sugar
A tablespoon of vinegar
2 or 3 (if you like them) cans of Chili beans
One-third of each:
1 Green pepper, 1 yellow pepper, 1 Red pepper
Olive oil
LOTS of salt, pepper and cayenne as needed

Preparation:
Sauté onions‎ in olive oil until they are translucent
Feel free to pour a glass of wine while doing this!
Sauté 2 jalapeños in with the onions
Add ground beef and cayenne pepper and sauté until brown
Add tomatoes
Puree chili beans in the blender just for a few rounds and add them to the mix
Add tomato paste
Add vinegar and sugar
Add the veggies
Add salt and pepper
Add more of anything to taste
Let simmer for an hour and dig in!

I’ll be spending this summer meeting fellow Conservatives in our community ahead of the election. If I get the chance to meet you, be sure to let me know if you tried this recipe out at home!

Happy Stampede,

Joan Crockatt
MP, Calgary Centre
