Chilli Con Carne!

So I spent this weekend at home and I like to cook wholesome and warm food when I'm back! I decided to make chilli con carne for my parents and I and it was so tasty!

It is pretty easy to make and includes chorizo which adds to the flavour! 

The Recipe: (serves 4)

-1lb of Beef mince

-Half a red onion, chopped

-1 clove of garlic, chopped

-1 stick of celery, chopped

-Half a large chorizo/ 6 mini chorizos

-1 can of Chopped tomatoes

-1 can of mixed beans in water (drained)

-1/2 can of water

-1 Tbsp tomato paste

-1/2 tsp Cumin

-1/2 tsp Chilli flakes

-1/2 tsp dried Coriander 

To make:

-First of all, cut the chorizos in to pieces and fry them in a deep pan until they give out some of their orange oil. Then add the Beef mince and cook until browned. Add the chopped onion, garlic and celery and cook for about 2 mins. 

-Add the spices, tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, drained beans, and then half  fill the empty tomato can with water and add.

-Give it a good stir to combine and bring to the boil, then turn the heat right down and simmer with the lid on for about 20 minutes. 

-After 20 minutes it should have reduced and be quite thick. So then serve it up with rice, lentils or just on its own with some grated cheese!

Above is the first stage, where the mine, chorizo and vegetables are cooking.

And here is the Chilli ready to eat with some lime and coriander rice!
