Beanless chili ?

[EVye]

I dont like kidney beans but would like to try chili.

Any receipes?

Just leave them out

use baked beans

suprisingly nice

Just leave them out, as the others said.

Do you mean you have never tried chilli?

yes we put baked beans in (for some odd reason, sister allergic to kidlee beans)

tastes v nice with baked beans

I've heard that Texans say "anyone who knows beans about chili, knows chili doesn't have beans" so arguably it shouldn't have beans in it anyway!

i put baked beans and chickpeas in mine.

I like butter beans in chilli (veggie chilli in my case). I could not contemplate putting a tin of baked beans in anything - shudder.

In the same vein as lisianthus I was reading a website which says that apparently a lot of 'authentic' chili recipes don't have kidney beans. So you have a v good excuse to not use them!

The website is www.curryhouse.co.uk/britmex/mexican/index.htm

the recipes there are hot but the guy who writes it is a total chilli head.

He has a link to chile.netrelief.com/classic_texas_red_chili_recipes.shtml which has a few historial recipes (all minus the evil beans).

Hope this helps!!!

Thanks everyone. Sorry I disappeared.

No, I have never had chili!

I dont like any beans, including baked beans - 'tis the texture. Yuck.

Will take a look at the recipes posted. Thanks
