Sick thread guys, it inspired me to make a chilli last night with my housemate...
1. Browned meat - 1Kg Minced Beef, 0.5Kg Diced Beef, 6 Rashers Streaky Bacon. Bought the fatty mince so ended up getting a **** ton of fat off this which was mostly drained...
2. Put meat aside, browned veg - 2x Onion, 4x Mixed Peppers, 2x Celery Stick. Also made a paste with the Chillis (1x Scotch Bonnet, 1x Finger Chilli, 1x Birdeye, 6x Mixed Chilli iirc???), 5x Garlic Cloves, some Habanero Tobasco, some Chilli Sauce and a splash of oil which I fried a lil...
3. Didn't have any Cumin Powder so had to crush some seeds with the P&M...
4. Chucked the meat back in and mixed in the paste. Added most of a bottle of Dark Ale (poss to much, not sure about this)...
5. Added the Tom Puree, 2x Chopped Toms, Chicken Stock with prob 150ml of water, prob some spices then added a couple shots of Bourbon...
6. Grated in some nutmeg at some pt...
7. Chopped finely and added 1 1/4 squares of Dark Choc...
8. Poured in some White Wine Vinegar, actually ended up adding a bit extra down the line somewhere...
9. Looks like all the ingredients have been added and it's been cooking for around 2hrs here. Added quite a few crushed up Tortilla Chips near the end cause was getting hungry and it was still quite liquid, would have also added Corn Flour if I'd had it.
10. Served with Rice (probs get berated for this but it's how I've always had it in England), Sour Cream, Cheddar, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
11. Put into portions and banged it in the freezer, should do us for a while
