Yummy in your tummy Chilli con carne

Quick post about yesterday's dinner. It was a bit different from our usual chilli but scrumptious nevertheless :)

What you need:

• Haricot rouge/ Kidney beans (canned or boil up your own)
• Onion
• Garlic
• Canned tomatoes
• Lean minced beef or turkey
• Worcester sauce (if you have it in stock)
• Chopped up veggies such as carrots, courgettes and mushrooms
• Olive oil
• Stock cube
• Salt and pepper
• Special twist: Cocoa powder, cinnamon and honey/ agave

1. In a hot frying pan, drizzle in some olive oil and lightly brown your garlic and chopped onions.
2. Add your minced meat to the onions and fry till the meat is cooked through.
3. Add the veggies (except the mushrooms, they can be added during the last 10 minutes), the tomatoes, stock cube, kidney beans, about a teaspoon of cinnamon and enough water to allow the mix to simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
4. Once it has simmered for a while, season with Worcester sauce, salt, pepper, a tablespoon of cocoa and about a tablespoon of honey. Taste and play around with the seasoning till it hits the spot. 

The cocoa doesn't make it taste chocolatey but gives the chilli a rich indulgent touch and is similar to Mexican mole sauce. I hope I haven't missed out anything! Quite hard to make chilli look good but this is what it looked like.

Enjoy :)

Also, I love Cassey Ho's quick online workout videos, they vary from 5 to about 20 minutes long and they are so much fun! If you want a perky bum, you should definitely try this!

Have fun!
