Chilli Con Carne
Been following this recipe recently but it's perhaps not that great so anyone care to share their preferred recipe? Want it to have a bit of heat but, bearing in mind that I want to give some to my 1 year old daughter, I don't want it burning hot. What I do want is for it to be really tasty.

Re: Chilli Con Carne
Looks about the same as what I use. I use cumin seeds though, heat them in a dry pan and then gring in pestle and mortar, lovely aroma and maybe gives more flavour?

Re: Chilli Con Carne
I use this one. We tone down the spices for the kids, put their portions to one side to cool down before adding a bit more. Also use a bit of sour cream/yoghurt on the kids' portion.

Re: Chilli Con Carne
Ooh dear, the above recipes both use sugar (?!) - that's not "tasty" - but CINNAMON is my recommended ingredient for a decent chilli con carne.

Marmalade is supposed to be very good (my mates used it) and can also help neutralise a too-strong chilli for kids/wimps.quizking wrote:Ooh dear, the above recipes both use sugar (?!) - that's not "tasty" - but CINNAMON is my recommended ingredient for a decent chilli con carne.

Re: Chilli Con Carne
I just follow a bolognese recipe but put a tin of baked beans and chilli powder in.

I like to add a little dark chocolate in at the end, gives it a lovely richness and offsets the heat.

Re: Chilli Con Carne
Surely it should be kidney beans that are added?

Re: Chilli Con Carne
Cumin is the key. Seeds and some ground.
I like to lob some cashews in also.

Re: Chilli Con Carne
I have never linked cumin, or a lot of the other ingredients mentioned to Mexico, so I am enlightened.

Re: Chilli Con Carne
Not cumin, but mexican oregano and cinnamon are specifically "authentic" ...

Re: Chilli Con Carne
Oregano isn't a major shock but: Paprika, Marjoram, Thyme?
My point is that is was peasant food, so it should be kept simple; and I don't use beef stock or chili powder (only fresh).

Peasant food it may have been but there's no reason why you shouldn't improve it blah. Do you put your rags on and go and sit in your shed to eat it too?
