Chillie Con Carne
September 8, 2010 in Beans, Chili, Mince Meat
Tonight I decided FTD, two of those letters stand for “the diet”, not that this dish is that unhealthy, maybe just a little high in kilojoules. Wife was not at home so I invited a buddy over for some beers and chilli con carne, my version of it in any case.
You will need
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 to 3 onions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 500g beef mince
- 2 x 400g cans chopped and peeled tomatoes
- 2 red chillies and 2 green chillies chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 stick cinnamon
- good shake of Worcestershire sauce
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 x 400g can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 x 400g borlotti beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 large bunch coriander leaves, roughly chopped
Fry the onion and garlic until soft, then add the mince. Flavour with salt and pepper and fry until brown, add the Worcestershire sauce and fry for another minute or two. Add the tomatoes, chillies, cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon stick and most of the coriander leaves. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for ¾ to 1 hour, add the beans and mix through, simmer for another 5 minutes.
Serve with a little coriander leaves sprinkle on top and open another beer.
Bon appetite

Oh yum – I haven’t made chilli con carne for ages, thanks for the reminder! This looks so delicious.
My motto for today: FTD – oh wait a minute, what diet, hahaha! I ditched it badly a week ago…
Off to vote for you again

Die bier het die broodjie/ wrap/ tortilla vervang wat jy sou gebruik om die sousies op te mop! hehe
