Chilli Con Carne
Serves 6 to 8 persons

Ingredients:

  • 2 large onions
  • olive oil for frying
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 kg minced beef
  • 100 ml malt vinegar
  • 2 x 400 ml cans of chopped tomatoes
  • 2 x 400 ml cans of red kidney beans
  • 300 ml of red wine
  • grated cheese to serve
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoon of paprika
  • hot cayenne or chilli powder to taste
  • 6 tablespoons of tomato puree
  • 4 large red peppers

Method:

Fry the onions and garlic in oil until soft but not browned, add the cumin, salt and pepper, oregano, bay leaves, and cook for one minute or more.

Add the mince and mix well until browned-you may need a bit more oil at this stage.

In a cup mix the paprika and chilli powder with the vinegar, stir this mixture into the beef with the tomato puree.

After a minute or two mix in the chopped tomatoes, canned beans, red wine and chopped red peppers, you may also add a little balsamic vinegar at this stage, check seasoning and add more to taste. You can also add beef stock if you wish and bring up to simmering point.

Cook in the halogen oven at 170c for approximately 60-70 minutes or until cooked. Make sure that it does not burn – add a little water if required and stir occasionally.

For the best result/flavour leave to cool until the next day and re heat. Be sure to taste if you serve it up the next day as you may need to add some tabasco sauce. Serve with jacket potatoes or rice.

This is a very mild chilli and appeals to all who do not like hot chillies

Try it and enjoy!

Question from Linda53

Do you cook this directly in the glass bowl of the oven or in a casserole dish inside? (like you would a normal oven). I’m a bit confused about whether you can do this or not. The recipe sounds really yummy, thanks.

Reply from Chef Eric

You can cook this chilli directly in the glass bowl if you wish, it depends if you are doing a substantial amount. If it is only for a few people cook it in a casserole dish on the lower rack. I have found that the oven heats up very quickly and it cooks much quicker. The flavours of this recipe are much different from other chillies. It is a very popular dish with my people and I cook it for 30 to 40 people in the club.
Happy cooking!
