Former NY cab driver Doug Ducap was named the Grand Prize Winner of the Taste of the South Recipe Competition which was judged by Matt and Ted Lee, the James Beard Award winning authors of The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook: Stories and Recipes for Southerners and Would-be Southerners.
Unlike most traditional chili recipes which rely on the usual beef and beans, Charleston Chili was created using succulent pulled pork barbecue, country ham, boiled peanuts, and black-eyed peas.
Ted Lee described the combination of the flavors in the Charleston Chili as, “…fantastic…clearly an original idea that followed through.”
The full recipe is available here. The recipe will also be showcased in a future issue of Southern Living.
DuCap’s original recipe for Moroccan Charbroiled Lamb & Fennel Stew With 7 Seed Couscous was a recent Semi-Finalist at the 2008 Redwood Creek Campfire Classic Recipe Competition.
His recipe for Sun and Moon Sweet Onion Salad will be featured in an upcoming brochure by the Vidalia Onion Committee.
