Chili con carne from minced meat as a second course

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 8 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   This recipe uses ground beef and dry beans. A package of frozen tomatoes, dark chocolate (70%), peppers and spices.

2. STEP 2

   

   We prepare the beans in advance. We wash a glass of dry beans, soak them in cold water for 6 hours and boil them.

3. STEP 3

   

   We clean the vegetables. Remove the seeds and stalks from the pepper.

4. STEP 4

   

   We cut the onion. You can cut it finely, but I prefer to cut along the meridians, this way the juiciness is preserved more.

5. STEP 5

   

   Fry the onion in vegetable oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pass the garlic cloves through a garlic press. You can just chop it finely.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the peppers into small strips.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add garlic, pepper and spices (turmeric and ground pepper) to the browned onions. Fry for 2-3 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Let's start with the meat. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan with high sides (if you have corn oil, it will be quite ideal), add the minced meat and fry for about 15 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add spices with onions and peppers.

11. STEP 11

    

    There, the tomatoes defrosted over time.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add tomatoes.

13. STEP 13

    

    Add no more than a glass of water (you can use broth).

14. STEP 14

    

    Add salt. Close the lid and simmer for 40 minutes over very low heat. If you used minced meat instead of minced meat, the stewing time increases to 1.5 hours.

15. STEP 15

    

    At the end of stewing, add boiled beans, stir

16. STEP 16

    

    Add a glass of tomato sauce and a whole pepper and simmer for another 10-15 minutes

17. STEP 17

    

    Before turning off the fire, a few minutes before cooking, add a touch of passion to the dish. A small piece of dark chocolate. We dissolve it and hear an extraordinary aroma.

18. STEP 18

    

    Sprinkle with fresh herbs: parsley, cilantro or basil.

Try it, my dear, we liked the chili, the main thing is not to overload the pepper.

Oh, it’s okay, we have a lot of spicy lovers at home, my dad even eats a bite of chili, though it’s probably not the hottest of these peppers.

And what kind of tomato sauce is better to use? It’s not visible in the photo. And regular minced meat, pork and beef? I’m very glad that you can use frozen tomatoes. In the North, this is by the way! Thanks for the recipe, I’ll definitely try it someday.

In our North, this is by the way! Thanks for the recipe, I’ll definitely try it someday. Good day! I used the most ordinary tomato sauce. (In extreme cases, dilute tomato paste to form a sauce or ketchup will also work). Homemade minced meat (beef-pork), if you want closer to the original, beef is better.
