Next time, try this one!. You can adjust the chilli and cumin to taste!. It also isn't laced with sugar and salt (although the stock cube does contain some salt)!.

CHILLI CON CARNE

Serves 3

INGREDIENTS

2 onions
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
500g of minced beef
2 teaspoons of chilli powder
2 teaspoons of ground cumin
400g tin of plum tomatoes*
1 beef stock cube
400g tin of red kidney beans

METHOD

Peel the onions and chop them into tiny pieces!.

Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat!. Add the onion!. Fry the onion for about 2 minutes!. Stir frequently to stop it sticking!.

Put the meat into the pan and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring all the time!. By this time, it should have broken up and be an even colour, with no pink bits!. Add the chilli and cumin, and stir!.

Open the tin of tomatoes!. Pour the juice into the pan!. Chop the tomatoes while they are still in the can (it’s easier than chasing them around the pan)!.

Pour the chopped tomatoes into the pan!. Crumble the stock cube into the pan!. Open the tin of beans and drain off the liquid!. Add the beans to the pan!. Mix thoroughly!. Continue to cook, stirring as the mixture boils, until the sauce has reduced!.

ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

Use minced lamb, pork or turkey instead of minced beef!.

TIPS

Let it cool and reheat it: the flavour improves with reheating!.

* Plum tomatoes can be used either whole or chopped!. It is difficult to stick chopped tomatoes back together again if you need to use them whole!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make your own chili from scratch, leaving out chili powder and red pepper, if called for!. Then combine the two!.

Anything dairy will cut the heat!. You can serve it with sour cream or plain yogurt!. When my kids were little I used to serve it with some butter melted in it!. I also did that with tomato soup and they still (at 30 years old) won't eat their chili or tomato soup any other way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
