Dear Diary,
I have been
making chilli for years and it is something I always fall back on when I need
to make something with scraps of ingredients, and somehow it always works out
pretty well! I have been asked for a while to let people know how I do it so
(even though it doesn’t look very pretty) I’ve decided to give it ago.
I'm going with a
jacket potato as I worked out a really quick and tasty way to make it compared
to the hour + it normally takes.
1. Preheat the
grill to medium heat.
2. Just get a
large 200g potato and put it in the oven for 15minutes or until it’s soft when
you stab it with a fork (don’t forget a sweet potato will take less time)
3. Place it in
under the grill until it is browned turning occasionally then serve.
Next for the
chilli, I'm afraid I don’t really know my amounts it changes to whatever is in
the house! So use however much mince you want depending on amount of people
(you always freeze it if you make too much!)
I used Mince
Tinned chopped tomatoes
Mushrooms
Onion
Red Kidney Beans
Tomato puree
Garlic puree
Chilli powder
Sugar
Basil
Parsley
Bay leaves
1. Fry the mince
until brown then stir in the tinned chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and garlic purée.
2. Add the
kidney beans and then the mushrooms.
3. Next add sprinkles
all of the spices, add more sugar if you think it is too spicy, and add the bay
leaves.
4. Taste and add
any extra of any spice or puree that you think is lacking.
5. Leave on low
heat for 15min stirring occasionally and adding a little bit of water if it
gets to dry.
6. Take out the
bay leaves, serve on top of the potato and enjoy!
I will try and
work out how much of each I use so I can try and amend it next time but I hope I've
not been too vague! Good luck and let me know if it works for you and if you
could improve it in anyway.
Love Lousia xxx
