Chilli con carne


The reason I started this blog was actually to print out the recipes and to create a family cook book. In this case, I wanted to add something that my husband came up with. I helped him cook this chilli con carne but it's his recipe so I can't take the credit for it.

Method (serves 4)
Level of spiciness - medium
Chop 3 garlic cloves and 2  onions, fry with a little bit of olive oil, remove from heat. Cook 400grams of beef mince and then add the onions and garlic. Chop 1 red pepper, add to pan. Add 1 tin of red beans, 3 bay leaves, 2 teaspoons of paprika, 2 tins of plum tomatoes, 2 tbsp of tomato paste, 1 stick of cinnamon, 2 tsp cumin. 
Cut very finely, 1 scotch bonnet or 1 really hot chilli and remove most of the seeds as that is where most of the heat comes from. Put lid on, let all of the moisture absorb and put the covered pan in the oven on low (150°C) for an hour.

Serve with basmati rice and a dollop of sour cream, we put truffle salt in with the rice.
