”I enjoyed this chili as a way to use up extra chipotle chilies with adobo. It adds a wonderful smokiness with the right amount of heat. When I make chili with just chili powder it seems kinda blah. The only changes I made were to scale back the size of the dish since I'm not cooking for an army. Loved it with cornbread.” —writerlisacresswell

"A wonderful Italian neighbor showed me how to make this recipe after I commented on how good it made the neighborhood smell when she made it. This American-Italian term refers to food prepared hunter-style, with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, various herbs, and sometimes wine. I found adding cheese gave it something special; it also made it mine." —Sneakyteaky.

”This is how we clean out the vegetable bin! You can add pretty much any veggies that you like to this red coconut curry. We've made this with shrimp instead of chicken, added apples, used spinach and zucchini… Have fun! Also, the seasoning quantities are on the "light" side. If you like your seasonings as we do, double them!” —Selayma
