1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef chuck, preferably coarse grind (see Cook's Note)
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika

CHILLI CON CARNE RECIPE



Chilli con carne recipe image

This great chilli recipe has to be one of the best dishes to serve to friends for a casual get-together. An easy sharing favourite that uses up storecupboard ingredients.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large onion
1 red pepper
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp oil
1 heaped tsp hot chilli powder (or 1 level tbsp if you only have mild)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
500g lean minced beef
1 beef stock cube
400g can chopped tomatoes
½ tsp dried marjoram
1 tsp sugar (or add a thumbnail-sized piece of dark chocolate along with the beans instead, see tip)
2 tbsp tomato purée
410g can red kidney beans
plain boiled long grain rice , to serve
soured cream , to serve

Steps:

  • Prepare your vegetables. Chop 1 large onion into small dice, about 5mm square. The easiest way to do this is to cut the onion in half from root to tip, peel it and slice each half into thick matchsticks lengthways, not quite cutting all the way to the root end so they are still held together. Slice across the matchsticks into neat dice.
  • Cut 1 red pepper in half lengthways, remove stalk and wash the seeds away, then chop. Peel and finely chop 2 garlic cloves.
  • Start cooking. Put your pan on the hob over a medium heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and leave it for 1-2 minutes until hot (a little longer for an electric hob).
  • Add the onion and cook, stirring fairly frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft, squidgy and slightly translucent.
  • Tip in the garlic, red pepper, 1 heaped tsp hot chilli powder or 1 level tbsp mild chilli powder, 1 tsp paprika and 1 tsp ground cumin.
  • Give it a good stir, then leave it to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Brown 500g lean minced beef. Turn the heat up a bit, add the meat to the pan and break it up with your spoon or spatula. The mix should sizzle a bit when you add the mince.
  • Keep stirring and prodding for at least 5 minutes, until all the mince is in uniform, mince-sized lumps and there are no more pink bits. Make sure you keep the heat hot enough for the meat to fry and become brown, rather than just stew.
  • Make the sauce. Crumble 1 beef stock cube into 300ml hot water. Pour this into the pan with the mince mixture.
  • Add a 400g can of chopped tomatoes. Tip in ½ tsp dried marjoram, 1 tsp sugar and add a good shake of salt and pepper. Squirt in about 2 tbsp tomato purée and stir the sauce well.
  • Simmer it gently. Bring the whole thing to the boil, give it a good stir and put a lid on the pan. Turn down the heat until it is gently bubbling and leave it for 20 minutes.
  • Check on the pan occasionally to stir it and make sure the sauce doesn't catch on the bottom of the pan or isn't drying out. If it is, add a couple of tablespoons of water and make sure that the heat really is low enough. After simmering gently, the saucy mince mixture should look thick, moist and juicy.
  • Drain and rinse a 410g can of red kidney beans in a sieve and stir them into the chilli pot. Bring to the boil again, and gently bubble without the lid for another 10 minutes, adding a little more water if it looks too dry.
  • Taste a bit of the chilli and season. It will probably take a lot more seasoning than you think.
  • Now replace the lid, turn off the heat and leave your chilli to stand for 10 minutes before serving. This is really important as it allows the flavours to mingle.
  • Serve with soured cream and plain boiled long grain rice.

  • Add the cornflour, 5 spice, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
  • Carefully heat the oil in a deep saucepan until it reaches 190°C (375°F).
  • Carefully place the beef strips into the oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Place on some tissue to soak up the excess oil and set a aside.

  • Brown the beef before adding it to the chili: This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the beef from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers: This will give your chili a more complex flavor. Some good options include ancho, guajillo, and chipotle peppers.
  • Add some acidity to the chili: This will help to balance out the heat of the peppers. Some good options include tomatoes, tomatillos, or vinegar.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Season the chili to taste: This may include adding salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, or other spices.
  • Garnish the chili with your favorite toppings: Some good options include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.
