Tooj 17 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I watched that Men who Stare at Goats film the other day. No recipes in it though. Madhur Jaffrey's book has a chapter / essay on goat iirc. Which book though? She has about a 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to see a chilli made with a can of Heinz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21506 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Cumin is the key chilli spice. I like fresh coriander too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4510 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 MARJORAM DOES NOT GO IN CHILLI! Virtually every recipe on the net disagrees with you. Example you say? http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3228/chilli-con-carne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4510 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Chilli a massive success. Using braising steak beats mince by a mile. Melt in your mouth stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7066 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Stick to pies Bonny lad You're not getting any you chilli skank. Tarragon works though, hoy plenty of that in the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not having braising steak as being superior to lean mince. Bet it takes ages as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13662 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I've heard of baked beans used in chillis, like. I side with CT and I'm afraid that's the case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15190 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I tend to use a tin of kidney beans and a tin of another type of bean (whatever happens to be in the cupboard, borlotti, black eye), so I suppose baked haricots aren't too great a leap. I reckon I'd be forever expecting a slight aftertaste of cheap tomato sauce though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21506 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Why not just use a regular can if beans and save yourself the hassle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4510 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Why not just use a regular can if beans and save yourself the hassle? Cos I live with a parky (where is he these days) family and nobody likes kidney beans or has probably tried any other variety other than baked.

Christmas Tree 4510 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Right, seems silly to answer all the PM's individually so here is the recipe. Chili Con Carne -- Serves 6 3 Tins of chopped tomatoes 3 Onions 800g Braising steak (2 packs for £7) 1 Tin of baked beans drained and rinsed. 1 ½ Red peppers 1 ¼ tsp Salt 1 ¼ tsp Hot chili powder 1 tsp Paprika 1 tsp Ground Cumin ½ tsp Dried Marjoram 2 clove fresh garlic 1 Red chilis 1 ½ tsp Honey 1 ½ Tbs Olive Oil Method Chop the onions and then fry with the crushed Garlic slowly for 5-10 mins until they are soft and translucent. Add the Chopped Tomatoes and beans and simmer for 45 minutes before transferring to a slow cooker. Fry the meat in a separate pan until browned. Add the chopped chili and fry for a further two minutes before transferring to the slow cooker. Add all the remaining ingredients and leave on a high for 2-3 hours or medium for 4 - 5 hours. Serve with Tilda Basmati rice and a dollop of sour cream. * This is a combination of two recipes. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3228/chilli-con-carne http://step-by-step-cook.co.uk/mains/chili_con_carne/ Its fair to say that once you have used braising steak instead of mince, you wont go back.

Brilliant piece of kit. I had to knock up a sausage casserole last night for 10 squash players. Simple affair with paprika, garlic, smoked bacon, onion and english mustard hoyed in. Bit of salt and sugar to bring the balance right. Tasted pretty decent considering it was bloody easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20555 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I use baked beans if I've forgotten to buy kidney beans like, I don't wash them either add I like their flavour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I am still yet to try adding a bit of chocolate when making a chilli as that is meant to be really good. Still can't go wrong with adding ghost chilli extract in there for that extra kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 She did a turkey concoction stuffed in red peppers last night. It was canny but not good enough to do again. Served up some excellent Lemon chicken earlier in the week though, that's going on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use these available at your local aka pre washed baked beans, ( which aren't baked incidentally, but rather they're stewed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
