Yes he can. Cooking involves boring appliance talk.
Quick rundown:
2.5kg of onions
2.5kg of minced beef
Simmer the onions in 0.7 litres of olive oil, add meat into which you've mixed in chilli powder (how much depends on you, we used a whole spice bottle), while that's cooking, mix up the sauce and beans.
0.85kg of pelati, 1 litre of tomato sauce, half a litre of chili tomato sauce, 0.5 litres of red beans, 2 garlic pods, chopped, salt, pepper, origano, kumin, paprika and freshly chopped habaneros (to heat level).
30 minutes after the meat, add a litre of wine, mix and let cook for another hour, add sauce.
After 30 minutes add 500g of sweet corn (drain the cans) and after another 30 minutes add a small pack of croutons, so it loosely covers the surface. They will soak up the grease the accumulates on top. After they do that (you might have to help them a bit by dunking), mix them in, add a spoonful of honey and let cook for at least another hour (or until it reaches the right consistency).
Pork away!
You end up with 8 litres of chilli.
Still don't see why you'd use that much oil. A tablespoon would be more than enough.
You can kinda tell it's an American recipe.
Nearly a liter of oil is too much, but a tablespoon will not be enough to sweat those down.
Gioridano's or something like that. I've been there before. It was alright. I was expecting something spectacular so I might have been lining myself up for failure.
Yeah but they were using a cast iron pot, in order to prevent sticking a decent amount of oil is needed to lube the bottom.Technically, sweating onions means cooking out most of the liquid/'water' inside them so you don't really need much oil. If you keep moving them they won't burn.

Of course, I would think 1/4 cup more than enough to lube that giant pot.A 'decent' amount of oil is not 0.7 litres That's an obese amount..

Yesterday I was in NYC. Had an Israel flashback with lunch (maybe it was second lunch) at Aroma Espresso Bar. Aroma is a big chain from Israel that recently launched in America. A bit pricey, but the frozen coffee and lemonade are actually killer and the grilled halumi cheese sandwich was awesome, and be bread was still warm from the oven.
