Chilli Con Carne is holiday food! A pot of chilli is perfect for dinner with rice and salad, layered with corn chips and cheese for nachos or in tortillas with salsa and jalapeños for taco night. It’s also great alongside our Kachumber for a super fresh and light option on a hot summer’s night. Versatile and an absolute crowd pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 kilo minced beef
  • 1/2 kilo minced pork
  • 1 brown onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground chilli
  • 1 cinnamon quill
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup of strong black coffee

  • 1 bottle stout (approx. 375ml)

  • 1 jar chipotle in adobo sauce

  • 3 x 400g tins crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tins black beans, drained

Method

  • Place a pot over a medium high heat and add the oil, onion and garlic. Fry for a few minutes to soften.
  • Add the dried herbs and spices, stir well until they become fragrant (a minute or so).
  • Now put in the beef and pork mince, stir very well with the onions and spices. Fry until the mince is all sealed and has changed colour.
  • Pour in the stout, leave to simmer until reduced by three quarters, then add the coffee and reduce by half.
  • Add the chipotle and tinned tomatoes, salt and pepper and turn down and simmer for an hour.
  • Add the beans and bubble for a further 30 minutes, check the seasoning and serve with rice, corn chips or in tacos with plenty of cheese, sour cream and cold beer!
