Hello everybody, it is Brad, welcome to my recipe page. Today, I will show you a way to make a special dish, my favourite chilli. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I will make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.
I vary the hot ingredients depending on who will be eating it and the mood I'm in. I've also used ground venison and it was just as good. If you have been buying chili pastes, you should definitely try to make your own, it's super easy!
My favourite chilli is one of the most well liked of current trending meals on earth. It is appreciated by millions daily. It is simple, it is quick, it tastes yummy. They’re nice and they look fantastic. My favourite chilli is something that I have loved my entire life.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook my favourite chilli using 19 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make My favourite chilli:
- Make ready 1 tbsp olive oil
- Prepare 2 medium carrots, finely chopped
- Make ready 2 medium onions, finely diced - I like to use red onions here
- Make ready 2 celery stalks, finely diced
- Prepare 2 peppers
- Take 2 heaped tsp mild chilli powder
- Get 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika (could use regular paprika if you don't have smoked)
- Get 1 tsp cinnamon
- Make ready 0.5 tsp cumin
- Get 0.5 tsp cocoa powder
- Get dash brown sauce
- Make ready dash smoked chipotle tabasco (could use regular or leave it out completely if you don't like it!)
- Prepare 500 g lean beef mince (5 or 10% fat seems to work the best)
- Get 400 g tin kidney beans,drained
- Get 400 g tin chickpeas,drained (or other pulse such as cannellini, haricot or black beans)
- Make ready 500 g passata
- Prepare 500 ml water (you may not need all of it so add a bit at time)
- Take salt and pepper to season
- Take Optional to serve - tortilla crisps, sour cream, grated mozzarella,rice
It's sweeter than regular chili, but quite fabulous. Serve it with an array of toppings–like sour cream, onions and cheddar. Let your guests customize to their heart's content.. And serve alongside my favorite cornbread or dinner rolls.
Steps to make My favourite chilli:
- Heat the oil in a large pan (if you have it, use a pan that can be transferred directly to the oven with a lid)
- Add all your chopped veg and cook over a low to medium heat for about 15 minutes until they are soft and starting to caramelise a little. You will need to stir them every few minutes to make sure they don't catch the bottom.
- Now add the spices and sauces and coat the veg. Allow to cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Add the mince and stir into the veg and spices. Turn up the heat a little so tat it cooks through. You will need to stir occassionally until it is just cooked through (5 minutes or so).
- Add the pulses and stir through to mix well. Add the passata and stir again. Allow to cook for a few minutes with lid on.
- Fill the passata carton with water. Add half of it to the pan and stir. If its looking very thin, dont add any more water yet. If the liquid isnt covering the mix, add some more water until it does. You can always add more liquid later when you check it.
- Give it a really good stir and allow to simmer on medium for 5 minutes. If you're cooking the chilli on the hob, turn the heat down to low and leave the lid on for the first 45 minutes of cooking. Remove for the last 15 minutes and season well. If it's looking to thick, add a little more water at this point.
- If you are oven-cooking the chilli, leave the lid on and transfer to a preheated oven (180˚ c). Cook for 45 minutes and then remove the lid for the final 15 minutes of cooking. Season well and stir before returing to the oven. Add more water if it needs it. If you prefer a thicker sauce you can turn the oven down to 160˚ c and leave for a little longer. You can experiment with how long you cook your chilli for to get it just how you like it!
- Warm a shallow, wide bowl and place 2 good handfuls of tortilla crisps in the bottom. Place 2-3 large ladles of chilli on top of the crisps and serve with sour cream and grated mozzarella. Obviously you can also serve this with rice as the image shows or with a nice, crisp green salad. If you're watching your carb intake, I like to serve it with some large iceberg lettuce leaves - they are amazing filled with chilli and grated cheese and wrapped like a burito!
Reheat on the stove or in the microwave. Chili is my absolute favorite during the colder months. It's just so warm, hearty and comforting. My recipe is made in the crock pot so after you brown and drain your beef, you just throw it in the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients and set it and forget it for a few hours until you're ready to eat. I must have made chili dozens of times before I finally decided this one was my favorite.
