What spices go in a chilli, other than chilli?

[Atari]

I know i can taste something else when i have a good one but every recipie i have just specifies chilli/chillies

ground cumin, ground coriander, ginger, black pepper, garlic, oregano (herb not spice i know)

I always use the Prue Leith recipe

I use this recipe which includes coriander, cumin and a cinnamon stick.

except no ginger. I'm not sure wehre that came from

there you go, old lady is right- it's cinnamon not ginger.

I second OldLady's recipe, it's delicious and makes the whole house smell amazing while it's cooking.

I made tempeh chilli last night - was delicious! I put in cumin, coriander, cinnamon, chilli, tamari, pepper, salt and a teaspoon of coconut sugar.
Other ingredients were onion, garlic, olive oil, tempeh, tinned tomatoes, tomato purée and red kidney beans.

Chilli as in Chilli con carne? I add cumin and thyme.

I use Cumin, paprika, cinnamon and garlic and add chopped fresh coriander at the end.

Smoked paprika is also good in a chilli.

I put chilli flakes, a bit of garlic (I think), ground ginger for warmth and fresh coriander in my chilli. (And salt and pepper of course). No recipe. It is delicious.

I use smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne pepper instead of chilli, think it tastes nicer and is hot like chilli powder but more flavour.

That's brilliant, thank you

I add smoked paprika and cayenne to the above list too. I also chop in a few anchovies (doesn't taste of fish but makes it really rich and meaty).

I only use chilli, black pepper and tomato puree.

Blended chilli powder, cumin and oregano.

A square or two of dark, high cocoa content chocolate works wonders as well.

DH crumbles in a little black pudding. You can't taste it as such, but it adds a deep meaty flavour.

slug I just spoon a spoonful or two of hot chocolate, works just as well.

Also stewing beef instead of mince beef. Cook it down for at least 3 hours mmmm know what I'm making this week now.

I use cumin, smoked paprika, cocoa powder, tomato puree, garlic, and cinnamon in mine.

I put in: ground cumin, ground coriander, crushed cardoman pods and ground cinnamon. I usually use sweet chilli sauce instead of chilli peppers.

Chipotle chilli paste is amazing for a chilli. I use that as well as cumin, cinnamon and oregano, with fresh coriander to serve.

when you say hot chocolate do you mean cocoa powder?

Yes mrs,

I sometimes put some creamed coconut in as well as chilli, cumin, cinnamon and coriander. Tinned green lentils are nice in it too.

I use half tomatoes/half strong black coffee to stew the meat down in (as well as toasted cumin and oregano as flavourings). It's super-yummy - it takes a good 2-3 hours but I cook it in huge batches and freeze for future use.

I use beer rather than hot water/stock. Yum!
