Does anyone have a brilliant chilli recipe

[Tilllly]

Cos I never get it quite right

It's like mince and beans, or blows your head off

I use Thomasina Miers which is delicious but a long cook. Haven't made it in a while but would do it as a weekend batch cook and freeze it....

Jamie oliver from eons ago

We use serious eats Texas chilli recipe it’s quite involved but tastes fantastic so we usually make a bigger batch and freeze

Its fuzzy as ifs a screen shot of a phot oni took aaaagea ago.

When i am feeling more athletic i will take a new photo

The hairy bikers recipe is great!

I cheat and use the kidney beans that are already in chilli sauce and then just add passata to stretch it out so it's more saucy. Mince, onions, pepper and probably a beef stock pot if I have them. If it's not spicy enough I add chilli powder till it is. It's a very lazy chilli but I like it!

I totally cheat and use

El Paso chilli mix x 2
Large red onion, 4-5 cloves garlic, red chilli, all finely chopped - sauté
750g mince - brown
Tin red beans, tin of black,
double shot of espresso,
2 glasses red wine
1 tin cherry tomatoes + 500g passata,
2 teaspoons cocoa ( not drinking choc, but 4 squares of very dark chocolate if that’s what you have)

In slow cooker for 5 hours on high,
Maje it day before you want to eat it. Feeds about 10 with rice.

Jamie Oliver's, works every time and packed with veg/beans .

This has been my go to chilli since the book was published decades ago - it is amazing.

I have a few that are really labour intensive but this is my go to quick and easy one www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/chilli-con-carne-recipe?fbclid=IwAR0Fqr5wcbUf3IRtQe9v9NsXYg_9avQ9e-f4aiOSNW6MR8Og3V9t0FHO6IM

I find chilli always tastes better the following day, I always add some jalapenos and some juice from the jar too and lots of fresh coriander. Sometimes a bit of Maggi liquid seasoning too if I have some.

My favourite ever is the slimming world chilli recipe which is online- really tasty and easy to make.

Chunk beef rather than minced, and if you are going to put beans in it, Black beans rather than Kidney.

If you have a specialist shop nearby then proper Chipotle chillies give it a nice, smokey depth. Diced chorizo works well too because the oil helps give the sauce that glossy sheen.

In use the best bbc food food one - really simple and really nice . Just Google best chilli recipes .

This one from Jamie. Not the same as the one above.
www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/beef-recipes/chilli-con-jamie/

I try to maximise beef flavour by buying best mince and really searing it well then softening the onion , garlic, fresh chilli, cumin , beef stock, tinned toms, a spot of wine if available and the kidney beans. I might add some celery and carrot but much less than if I were doing spag bol; likewise tinned tomatoes. The main flavour should be of beef imo.if I have a pepper available I put that in when onion softened. Because there aren't many veg I would have some sort of salad on the side with lime and coriander .

I think I'm going to have to try all of these!!

recipe from Leon. Make bloody loads and freezes well.

The BBC one above, but fry off some pancetta with the onion for a deeper flavour.

I always use diced meat rather than mince too. The game changer though is adding a big spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder. It adds a massive depth of flavour (and goes down brilliantly with the kids too!)

YES.

ingredients:
1 onion
2 green peppers
750g mince
2 cartons of passata
beef stockpot
Worcestershire sauce
1 splash of balsamic vinegar
3 squares of dark chocolate
1 teaspoon of sugar
tomato puree
3 tsp garlic powder
3 tsp ground coriander
4 tsp cumin
4 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cinnamon
3 tsp dried oregano
2 cayenne pepper (more or less, to taste)
1 tsp chipotle tabasco

optional:
kidney beans (Texans do not believe in kidney beans in chilli so I don’t but plenty do!)
sweetcorn
fried chorizo
fresh coriander

Method.

1. chop and fry the onions and peppers in a little more oil than you think you need
2. add all your dry herbs and spices to the onions and peppers, and fry them off for a minute or two so the spices aren’t raw.
3. add the beef, beef stockpot and a LOT of Worcestershire sauce and brown the beef.
4. add in a tablespoon of tomato puree and stir
5. add in your first carton of passata and assess if you want to add more or not
6. Add the balsamic, sugar and chocolate
7. simmer until all lovely and rich and chilli-ish.
8. Stir through the fresh coriander before serving

Get the kidney beans in chilli sauce, add some dark chocolate, loads of garnishes (sour cream, fresh chillies, coriander, salsa, jalepenos).

I love this one but www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a58253/best-homemade-chili-recipe/ do almost double of spices. I also add baked beans

I like the good housekeeping one.
