Chili all wrapped up

I love a good chili. Here is my chili recipe.

250g mince
1 tin red kidney beans
1 tin tomato
1 sachet tomato puree
1 onion
1 clove garlic
fresh organum
fresh thyme
1 red chilli
tbl coriander seed (crushed)
tbl cumin seed (crushed)
2 tbl paprika
2 bay leaves
300ml beef stock
a good squirt worcestershire sauce
a big splash of red wine
salt & pepper
coriander leaves

Okay before we begin...
It is always nice when you get all your ingredients ready before you start cooking

It is a good idea to have jars of spices ready to use (i'll post what are good spices to have)

We pick some bay leaves from our tree and let them dry in our kitchen

Chop your onion, garlic and crush your coriander & cumin in your pestle and mortar 

Sweat your onions, garlic & bay leaves till translucent

Add your chili & spices 

Keep on stirring to "cook" the spices but do not let em burn!!

Add your herbs

Add your mince meat and sear off

Stir in your tomato paste & herbs

Then add your tinned tomato, beans, worcestershire sauce, wine, stock and some salt & pepper (do not add too much S&P as the sauce will become saltier as the flavours get more concentrated as it reduce)

Let is simmer until a thick meaty consistency 

Once cooked, chop your coriander leaves and stir through. Serve with a nice salsa, grated cheddar cheese, sour cream all wrapped up in a warm tortia wrap. YUM!!

Happy cooking y'all!!
