Chilli Con Carne

 

An old favourite from my menu at L'Office Cafe in France from the late 90's. The lime makes all the difference to this classic dish!

1 large onion, finely diced

1/2 red capsicum, finely diced

1/2 green capsicum, finely diced

1/2 tbsp minced garlic

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 kg premium beef mince

3 x 400g tins of crushed tomatoes

2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp ground cummin

1 tbsp ground paprika

1 tsp cayenne pepper

4 tbsp coriander, chopped

1 tbsp jalapeno chillies, finely chopped

1 x 400g can kidney beans, rinsed

1 lime, juice and zest

sea salt & ground black pepper to taste

 


Saute the onions, capsicums and garlic in a little olive oil until soft

Add the tomato paste and fry for a minute whilst stirring

Add the mince and brown off, stirring occassionally to break up. Once browned, use a potato masher to break up all lumps of meat

Add the tinned tomatoes, sugar, spices, coriander and jalapenos. Bring to the boil and simmer slowly for 25 minutes, stirring occassionally

Stir in the kidney beans, lime and seasonings to taste.

Serve over rice with sour cream and extra jalapeno chillies & fresh coriander sprigs

 

Serves 6
