To make chilsketti: Make spaghetti sauce with meat. Simmer lots, so the ground beef is what some people would consider overcooked but at a texture where I actually like it, and it goes all thick and yummy.
More specifically: Brown a package of hamburger. Drain, and in the same pan, brown an onion and your choice of additional veggies. (I like lots of mushrooms, zucchini, and sometimes eggplant.) Smash a couple of cloves of garlic, and add. But hamburger back in apn. Then add a can or two of diced tomatoes, and spices of your choice. (I usually add oregano, salt and pepper, a bay leaf, and cayenne, and a tablespoon of plain, unsweetened cocoa. Strange but true.) Simmer for forty-five minutes or so. Then it will be thick and yummy. Fish out the bay leaf and the whole garlic clove. Add olives if you so desire.
