Epic Chilli Con Carne
Hot, dark, and with intense flavours, this is the Rolls Royce of Chilli. It's really easy but takes time - it's a labour of love, and totally worth it!
Difficulty and servings
Serves 4
Preparation and cooking times
Plus 24 - 48 hours marinading time.
- Mix together all marinade ingredients in a bowl and leave at least over night. Two days better.
- Add the 'for cooking' ingredients and slow cook covered in the oven on 150 C (gas 4) for 4 hours.
- Add the red peppers (don't forget to fry first!) and kidney beans half an hour before the end.
- Finish with the 'to finish' ingredients - stir into the dish 5 minutes before serving - just enough time to heat them through. Adjust the seasoning.
- Serve with as many or few as the accoutrements as you wish! The more the better!
