Chilli con Carne recipe

For a convivial meal to share, how about changing your habits and cooking a Mexican stew? Far from the traditional beef bourguignon or sautéed pork, discover this dish of Mexican cuisine mixing spices (cumin, oregano, ...).

INGREDIENTS: 2 PERS.

300g ground beef
1 onion
1 garlic clove
300g red beans
300g tomato pulp
1 small can of corn
1/2 green pepper
2 tbsp. sunflower oil
1 Pot of Knorr Beef Broth
tabasco
pepper

Getting the recipe ready:

Step 1

Start preparing your traditional chili con carne by peeling and finely chopping the garlic cloves and onions. Then split the pepper into 4, remove the seeds bypassing all the parts underwater, then the white partitions with the tip of a knife. You can then cut it into small pieces.

Step 2

Then brown the beef in your chili con carne with the oil in a large casserole dish, searing it for 10 minutes over high heat. Remember to stir everything briskly with a wooden spoon. Then add the minced garlic and onions and cook for another 5 minutes without stopping mixing. At this point, pour only the pieces of pepper, the tomato pulp, the pot of Beef Bouillon, and a little Tabasco (at your convenience). Finally, pour 15 cl of water over this mixture, cover, and simmer gently for 40 minutes over low heat.

Step 3

While the base of your chili con carne is simmering you can prepare your corn and red beans by rinsing and draining them. At the end of cooking, you can add these two ingredients to the casserole to complete your recipe. Leave to warm gently, uncovered, for about 10 minutes. Finally, serve your very hot chili with white rice and Tacos for a truly typical Mexican meal.

TIPS

You can use dried beans for the preparation of your chili con carne. In this case, it is essential to soak the beans the day before, then pre-cook them for 15 minutes before adding them to the pepper and tomato pulp. If some of your guests are sensitive to dishes that are too spicy, you can of course reduce the dose of chili used in the Mexican recipe.
