[Food] Chilli Con Carne

[Hillian1]

Food of the gods etc, etc, etc.

Anyone got a recipe a bit out of the ordinary, with a twist, that actually works unlike hoying chocolate in.

 

[Jim D]

Have you tried hoying chocolate in?

Nigella has a nice one with sausages and chorizo... usually served with her ample and delicious muffins.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Cumin and paprika are essential. No mushrooms and preferably no peppers. Don't add the vital kidney beans 'til the end of cooking. They MUST NOT break.

Aah, the ground coriander too.

If it's a little 'bland', chuck in the Satan's Blood.



PS The Hairy Boys one ain't bad if you 'pep' it up a notch.

Got to be proper dark chocolate, 90% cocoa, otherwise don't bother... Cinnamon sticks in too, let it simmer/slow cook for as long as you can.

The Hairy Bikers receipe is quite good I think. I just add a little more chilli powder or raw chillis than most recipes suggest

The Hairy Bikers one is essentially a bog standard Chilli Con Carne.

 

[Notters]

Use beef cheeks (available in Morrison's) in your normal recipe, it makes a pretty special chilli.

 

[happypig]

Use bird eye chillis, they have a much less bitter flavour than jalapenos if you like it hot. also, put a quarter of a cup of milk in it

I chuck a glob of reggae reggae in ours. Lovely.

I do use chocolate in it, but as you said, it doesn't make much of a difference..

Yes, that's why I asked for one a bit out of the ordinary, with a twist because I wanted a bog standard one.

We love a chilli in our house and I spent a while looking at a lot of recipes. The one that does it for us is by Thomasina Miers in her “Mexican food made simple” book. Slow cooked with slices of beef which are shredded before the end. But it is the mix of spices she uses which makes it so good. I don’t worry too much about getting the exact chilliest that she recommends as some are hard to get.

Sorry missed the bit about with a twist and personally I do not put chocolate in it as I think that it does nothing to enhance the taste. I am probably not bulk standard as I like mine very hot so use both hot chilli powder and chillis complete with the seeds.

When browning off beef mince, try a bit of milk, helps make it more creamier!

 

[Miximate]

I chuck in a teaspoon of coffee granules to enhance the flavour

Doesnt that take out the chilli heat as milk or cream is used if a curry is too hot.
