Another Old Favourite, Chilli Con Carne
Some Like It Hot!
But here’s my version, and it is less hot, but really good. In my household, I have to cater for many tastes, some like it hot, and some not so, therefore, I give my Chilli Con Carne a bit of a kick, so it defines the dish, but for the more discerning fire eaters, I lay the table with some Jalapeño’s to top it off. I also like to serve with small sides of homemade salsa, and guacamole.
As always, I like to use really good ingredients in this Chilli, and the tinned tomatoes are not only tasty, but are the perfect consistency. I use these ones from Mutti you can get them from good supermarkets. The smokey tomato and hot chipotle chilli pastes are from the Marks & Spencer Cook With range, its a fabulous collection. I notice that more and more cooks are adding chocolate now to their chilli, though I have used chocolate in my recipe for as long as I have been making it. It adds the depth of flavour and a richness that you can’t get from anything else when you’re making the flavours from scratch, it really is not the same without it. I use mostly Galaxy which is soft and silky and melds into the dish perfectly, and when I can’t get hold of it, I will use a good Belgian chocolate, but always milk chocolate.
So here it is, try it!
