mmmmmmm

once in a while it just hits the spot !

Today it was just plain old chilli with no extras, usually the odd carrot, courgette/veg gets added, and totally ruins it !

What do you add if anything ?

when it’s nearly done, a handful of frozen peas.

trust me.

I follow a BBC food recipe.

This one, in fact.

Some more dried chillies, from a spice merchant in Goa.

Chipotles (which, slightly surprisingly, you can get in Tesco).

I was also given a block of Willie’s Cacao a while back; in the absence of any better ideas we grated a bit of that into each batch of chili.

A couple of nagas and celery.

EDIT: chipotles are also awesome instead of nagas. Ancho chillies also great.

Cloves. Chipotle sauce. Mushroom ketchup.

Dark chocolate..

bulgar wheat. red wine.

Raw cacao and some lovely Pablo Ancho and Quajillo chillis

Chick peas, carrots and celery to bulk it up a bit. Sometimes a mug of coffee.

dark choccy and coriander

A teaspoon of horseradish sauce..

Chick peas, carrots and celery

just no plain no ! this is what er indoors usually adds…no no no !

Chipotles I get that

This maybe a bit OTT but it’s fantastic Best Ever Chilli

Coffee. I tried it for the first time with coffee a few weeks ago. Really works well.

and diced chorizo. You owe me! 😉

Hendo’s.

I put some feta on mine the other night, it sounds so wrong, yet tasted so right.

I chop chorizo up into small pieces and fry it off with the onions at the start

I also add cocoa powder

My chilli is the bomb

Also a mix of pinto and kidney beans but pintos seem to be getting harder to find.

Chorizo sounds grand

Cumin, onions, coriander stalks, cinnamon sticks, balsamic vinegar, tinned toms, kidney beans, tomato purée, turkey mince, fresh chillis.

Am salivating just thinking of it.

Couple of dashes of worcestershire sauce…

My missus made me a chilli a little while back. I merely suggested that she may have forgotten the cumin.

She hated me for a little while.

A naga chilli is a must, a taste sensation.

There’s one in a Delia Smith book that’s pretty nice and very easy so I’m told

A few grates of nutmeg.
Some smoked paprika.

Scwartz Chilli Con Carne mix! Sorry, but it is pretty good I think. But good quality mince and as long cooking as you can makes the difference. I also add an Oxo stock cube and Worcestershire sauce and sometimes a good glug of a half decent red wine.

Coca Cola

Without duplicating what others have said,

Marmite.

Big chunks of beef instead of mince.

Tomato ketchup.

BBQ sauce.

Mince! Sounds sillu but my missus only eats fish as a meat. So our chillis are bean only unless im in on my own, then mince gets slapped in.

Turn your back on this dark chili and try white chili. Chicken, turkey, white beans and, if you can find it, hominy.

You will thank me for this wise advice.

Beef shin rather than mince, cocoa powder, dark muscovado sugar and 1/2 a pint of coffee. Cumin, oregano, coriander and paprika with the chillies to spice it up a bit.

Then cook for hours and hours

Oh, only cook Chili sans Carne. But with bulgar wheat, a couple of red finger chillies, some dried chillies and smoked paprika.

Baked beans
Smoked paprika

Bananas and a 2B pencil.
