Marco Pierre White recipe for Chilli Con Carne

one of the nation's favorites it's very simple and very quick to make mince beef kidney beans paprika little cumin cayenne pepper rich beef stock pot and then we have our tomato base which is all very easy to martyr sauce if you don't have tomato sauce then what you'll have to do is fry your onions your garlic and then add 50% passata and 50% Tim chopped tomatoes it's as simple as that what I do is I make it very easy tomato sauce it's my base to my Bolognese to my chili con carne to many things it's easy it's simple but I make a very big batch and then I break it down into four or five pots and I freeze it so when I want to make some chili con carne it comes out of the freezer so it's easy and peasy now to start chopping onions chopping garlic so how do we start little olive oil then we take our mince beef one kilo of lean fine mince beef so now what I'm doing is I'm sealing it up by doing that and removing the fat will render out and then start to cook my meat what's interesting we have one kilo of meat you may think that's a lot but just look what's happening the water has been released from the meat and that's a large percentage of that meat so every really got a kilo of meat no we haven't once the water has evaporated then you can singe your mince so it's quite a long and slow process but the results pay off at the end and there's nothing worse than when you get mince it's got those big lumps in it almost like meatballs but very tough not myself this way it now will cook nice and evenly in the pan you can see the waters evaporated and now the natural fat and that little bit of olive oil will start so now since the meat no I take a little cayenne pepper a bit of cumin but again you make it as spicy as you wish take a little paprika see when you think paprika cayenne but a cumin they all work fantastically well together so then we add it to our base tomato sauce 1/2 liters of water to rich beef stock pot dissolve the stock pots in the chili when it comes to the boil simmer very gently for about 1 hour with a lid on they keep on stirring you have to mother it so the chili is now being cooking for 50 minutes so you can see the richness of the rich beef in with the kidney beans in this case there tend which are being washed off I think you have to be generous with the kidney beans just work those in slowly because they were cooked already all we have to do is put the heat into them it's as simple as that so to finish fresh chiles a little bit of dark chocolate minimum 70% and fresh coriander at the last name and then do is just want to stir it in as you see also the chocolate gives it that little bit of extra richness it just thickens it a little bit and the reason I put it all in at the last minute so it retains its freshness and you can taste the individual flavors you can taste the chili you can taste the Koran then you can taste the chocolate which is having a scent of it and just to finish a little more fresh coriander just to make it look pretty and there we have it chili con carne with rich beef stock it's fantastic with baked potatoes sour cream it's fantastic with rice it's your choice no cheese everything goes in the world of Gaston you
