Chilli Con Carne
What’s not to love about this classic….. Chilli Con Carne! It’s so versatile it can be made into burritos with the left-overs. I think it tastes even better the next day. This dish is an ultimate family feast winner. I love the coriander and the cumin flavours rounded off with the rich chocolate!
There is a lot of controversy about Chilli Con Carne and where it comes from, it definitely is not from Mexico. Seeming to originate from Texas in the early 1900’s, there were Chilli Parlours where people would gather to eat. So many variations exist, some containing beans or not, some of the sauces have tomatoes etc. Despite the debates this is my take on the recipe, one that I have been cooking for decades! Serving it to friends with one large pot of it on the table with dips and tacos… what’s more to say, happy days, memories and full tummies!
