Chilli con carne.... what spices do you add ?

[Dave7]

You should try it. I triple-guarantee that you'll be pleasantly surprised. Just fry the chopped up fillets in oil for three minutes with some mashed up garlic and then carry on with the rest of your chosen recipe.

TBH that makes me feel worse than I did.

I start most minced beef /beef stew dishes with a mirepoix of finely diced carrots, celery and onions in equal measure sometimes leek too. A great base to build from.
Brown the beef off with some crushed garlic, add to the mirepoix with some beef /chicken stock.
Bay leaf and thyme. Tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dash of soy sauce. Cooked low and slow.

Now you can go any direction you choose.

Chilli, bolognese, shepherd's pie......

This^^^

Worcestershire sauce is made from anchovies….

Anchovies
Marmite
Soy Sauce
Mushrooms/mushroom ketchup
Stock Cubes
Celery
Tomatoes
Mature cheese
MSG/Aromat


Are all sources of Umami, the 5th flavour….

My new found way of doing mushrooms. Thick slices, dry fried in the pan large enough so they all lay flat. Brown off then turn them over. Last minute splash in some soy sauce toss them around then put them to whatever use you had in mind.

Great umami

Man we need to eat again before you head west.

Another tip is to bake the mince on a baking sheet in the oven, smoked lardons also add a great flavour
