CHILLI CON CARNE




Another really easy one to make that is super cheap and usefully lasts 2 meals

INGREDIENTS
  • MINCE 
  • CARROTS
  • ONIONS
  • GARLIC
  • MUSHROOMS
  • CHILLIES
  • TIN TOMATOES
  • RED WINE
  • CUMIN POWDER
  • CHILLI POWDER
  • KIDNEY BEANS 
Fry off mince then add all the other ingredients apart from kidney beans the amount of spice will be dependant on who you are making it for , dad is a whooss who likes it mild, bless

Cumin is not hot but adds that authentic flavour I usually add at least a heaped teaspoon

Fresh chillis vary but the larger the more mild they usually are 

add some water or stock the mix at the start should be quite runny then cook for about 1 hour on low heat or till liquid has reduced it could be ready in half an hour if you need it quickly

serve with rice or pita bread
