Jesus, cooked an amazing chilli last night. If you want to feed 8-10 people, get on this fucker.
Here's the recipe: Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall's finest, with a couple of additions from me. Hope I've got the quantities right... Enjoy!
750g minced beef
500g diced pork
250g cubed chorizo
2 big onions, chopped
2-4 chillis, thinly sliced with the seeds
2-4 cloves garlic
2 heaped tea spoons chilli powder
2 cans kidney beans
2 tins tomato
6-8 chopped sundried tomatoes
250ml beef stock
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
1 table spoon malt / white / cider / wine vinegar
2 tea spoons soft brown sugar
1 tea spoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper
Olive oil.Heat the oil in a big pot, add the onions, garlic, and fresh chilli and soften. Once they seem pretty much done, take them out, put them to the side. Try to retain some oil in the pot.
Now brown all the meat (in batches if necessary) seasoning as you go. When it’s brown, put the onions etc back in, along with the chilli powder, sundried tomatoes, herbs, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick. Mix it all together over the heat. Add the tins of tomato, the stock, the vinegar and the sugar, and cook for at least 1-1hr 30mins. You can check the spiciness at this stage and add more chilli powder if necessary.
It needs to simmer very gently with a lid on, so you can cook it on the hob, or in the oven if you have an oven proof pot. You want almost all the liquid to reduce...
Stir it occasionally, to make sure it’s not boiling dry, but if it is looking a bit dry at the end of the cooking time, add a glass of red wine, stock, or water. Add the drained kidney beans, then mix it all together, and leave it (off the heat) for around 20 mins so the beans heat through. Check the seasoning and you’re ready to go.
Serve with guacamole, nachos, rice bread, tequila and corona.
Wish I didn't 'serve' myself as much tequila now though....

Assume you mean Chilli con carne. Chilli is just the peppers you put in it. ; )
You don't call a chicken vindaloo 'chicken' do you.
- stfu, Chili is a dish, too, jackassmonospaced
- No, you don't call vindaloo 'chicken' . I'd call you 'twat'. ;-)DaveO
- Explain...? Just because everybody does it, doesn't mean its right. But call me whatever you like..set
- I get called jackass and twat but I am correct, monospaced - you think 'chilli' and 'chilli con carne' are different dishes? 'lol'set
- Chili con carner is a Suace/topping to several hispanic meals....You wouldn't sevre it by itself, unless your a freak. Chili is a meal...Like Soupviper_con
