There is a chilli I make fairly often that I thought some of you might like. I decided to make a massive batch this time because I made a normal sized batch a few days ago and craved it as soon as it was all gone. I'll post the ingredients for the normal sized option.

Ingredients
1kg of diced beef
500g beef mince
2 chorizos, skin removed
1 cup of coriander
1 large onion
3 tablespoons ground cumin
half a cup of cayenne pepper
3 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of dried basil
2 cups of beef stock
1 can of whole tomatoes, drained
1 cinnamon stick
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon of yellow cornmeal
375ml of Coopers Red (one stubbie)
1 can of kidney beans, drained
a couple of glugs of coke

Now when it comes to the chilli it is all personal taste. I am using 4 habaneros, 5 long reds, 5 long greens and a fair whack of birds eye chilli for my big batch. Depending on your own personal taste you can use less or more than that. Habaneros have a really awesome taste so if you can handle a bit of spice I really suggest using them. They can be deseeded and still retain their flavour while reducing their heat levels a bit.

Steps

Chop up the onions, garlic (do them Goodfellas style) and chillies so they are ready to go. De-skin the chorizos (this is a real pain). Brown the meat in a bit of olive oil and set aside. Put the onions, garlic, chorizo and mince and cook until the mince is brown. Put the browned beef back in plus all the other ingredients. Stir and bring to the boil. Put the pot on a low heat and cook for at least four hours with the lid on. When it has cooked enough so the meat is tender take the lid off and allow it to reduce. It will go down to a nice thick consistency so that if you stuck in a piece of bread it won't just run off. Serve with sour cream. I like to have mine with good ol' corn chips but some people like rice. Corn bread is also a good option. Here are some pics of my work in progress -

Are you offering yours?

looks fucking delicious but I suspect it's probably too hot for me with that many chillis.

delicious. why aren't you 3rd world skinny from all that capsaicin?

Wish I could withstand the hotter spices, but sadly lemon grade is good enough for me. Looks good though, nicely done fpot!

I love cooking with chilli, hot hot chilli.

This is the ingredients to the roasted Habanero chilli sauce we recently made.


The one before that was a pineapple hot sauce using Ghost peppers & red habaneros, both of them are fucking delicious.

Just minus the habaneros and birds eyes, halve the long red and long green amount and you have yourself a pretty mild chilli mix.

fuck that would burn, you're nuts dude!

Yeah thermite are you a pack leader or what?

clean your colon more like it.

I had a crack at the tindaloo at Spice ave a few weeks back. I love hot food and it packs a punch. The chef down there asked me to try some new sauce he is making, nearly blew my head off.

LOOK AT HOW MUCH CHILLI I CAN EAT I AM HARDCOROROROR

nice cooking and i'd like to see more cooking threads since i don't know shit on how to cook, but i certainly wouldn't be putting chilly in mah food

Fresh Coriander is way better if you just dump it in once something like this is cooked.

Looks good otherwise

my arse is burning just looking at this fucking page :/

that looks tops Fpot.
I love hot food but have never made a chilli - con carne style dish before.

Is 4 hours the minimum cooking time? How long do you usually leave it for?

Yeah I'd say four hours would be about minimum if you want the beef to be really tender. This one has been on for about 11 hours now. I am going to start to reduce it and hopefully it will be ready in time for game one of Euro :)

Sour cream owns.

Still isn't ready yet and game 2 is about to start :(

Tabasco is awesome.

Lots of good results it seems here

check here for hot sauce

So i'm giving this a crack tonight.. though not as much chilli lol..

Kangaroo meat is disgusting.

Probably this:

Chili con carne (chili with meat) or more commonly known as simply "chili" is a spicy stew containing chili peppers and meat.

edit: Oh and don't let the Spanish name fool you, it's American and the official dish of Texas.
