Chilli Con Carne
This is the easiest chilli con carne recipe I've found, it takes very little time to prepare and cook - and it tastes great! Serves three adults with good appetites.
1/2 kg premium beef mince
2 teaspoons of canola oil
1 finely chopped brown onion
1 heaped teaspoon crushed garlic
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 400g tin diced Italian tomatoes (including juice)
1 400g tin red kidney beans, drained
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder - or to taste (but be warned, you'll need a little sour cream if you use too much chilli powder!)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
Heat the oil on high in a deep frypan / wok, fry the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes, add the mince and stir constantly until all browned - no pink!
Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil then reduce to a low heat until just simmering
Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally
