Chili con Carne<\/h2>\n

This recipe can feed up to 10 people. It depends if it will be a part of a\u00a0complete dinner with different courses or a single dish.<\/p>\n

2 cloves of garlic<\/p>\n

3 tbs of Extra Virgin Olive oil<\/a><\/p>\n

2 peppers of different colors<\/p>\n

250g of mushrooms<\/p>\n

2 tsp of Hot chilli pepper spread\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

1 tsp of grounded cumin<\/p>\n

1 tsp of chilli pepper<\/p>\n

400g of minced beef<\/p>\n

1 bottle of passata<\/a> or a can of chopped tomato 400gr<\/p>\n

2 cans 400g of red kidney\u00a0beans<\/p>\n

Salt and black pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h3>\n

Start preparing the vegetables: Cut the onions finely and mince the garlic.\"Chili<\/p>\n

Then core the peppers. Take the seeds and white veins off then cut in small squares of 1-2 cm.\u00a0Quarter the mushrooms.\"Chili<\/p>\n

Pour the olive oil in a large pan then put on the stove on medium heat for 1-2 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"Chili\u00a0Put the onions and cook for 5 min or until they start to change colour and get translucent.\"Chili<\/p>\n

Now add the garlic, peppers, and mushrooms. Stir well and cook for a\u00a0few minutes more.\"Chili<\/p>\n

Raise the heat to high. Put the meat in the middle of the pan and fry until brown.\"Chili<\/p>\n

Stir well and let it cook for 20 min, stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n

Switch off the heat and leave to rest for 10 minutes before serving on a little of rice or how I like it on a bed of baby spinach.\"Chili<\/p>\n
