Live For Food

https://lavoixplus.com/index.php/2023/10/19/y1skimw The recipe I normally use for Chilli con carne is from Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food cookbook, but I thought I’d have a go at a different recipe to see if I prefer it.  The recipe I used is from the BBC Good Food website, please see the link for the method.

Now I do have a tendency with main meals to substitute ingredients I am not so keen on, or simply don’t happen to have in, so I made the following alterations to the above list:

• I didn’t have an onion in so I used a few spring onions I had hanging around
• I added some mushrooms, a small yellow bell pepper, and a small carrot
• I crushed my garlic cloves, which isn’t actually mentioned in the recipe
• My tin of kidney beans was only 200g
• I added the end of a carton of passata that was in the fridge
• I used Frylight (a commercial oil spray) instead of actual oil
• I just served with rice, as I didn’t have any soured cream
• I didn’t add the chocolate (see tip at the bottom of the recipe) as I didn’t have any in

https://larrylivermore.com/?p=ytzcptu5 It turned out to be a tasty recipe, although it was a bit watery.  I was surprised it was so watery, because the recipe itself keeps commenting that you should ensure the dish doesn’t dry out – I suppose it could be partially because I added mushrooms.  Overall it tasted fairly similar to my normal Jamie recipe, there wasn’t much to choose between them.

If I did this recipe again I would do the following:

• I would use fresh chillies instead of chilli powder – I think they taste better
• I would cook it for longer at the simmering stages, and use all passata instead of tinned tomatoes which should reduce the liquid
