Chilli tips!

[Andrew_Culture]

I prefer beans rather than mince, you can't have too much cumin either. I'd make it 'lite' and then when you've served the wimps you can add a spoonful of Gran Luchito or similar to give it a boost, as a bonus it stops them having seconds too, oink.

Ooh, I'd forgotten that I have a tin of mixed pulses in the cupboard. I love chickpeas!

Anchovies?

Probably steak if he's from Texas.

It was the 'ancho, pasilla and chipotle chili powders', I only understood one of the words!

What sort of sauce for chilli doesn't have toms in it?

[QUOTE 2891089, member: 259"]I big batches of black bean chili with chipotle in adobe sauce in it. It only takes about 20 minutes in the pressure cooker and it's dead nice. It's probably about as authentic as a Taco Bell, but it's bueno on a taco.[/quote]

Do you do cinnamon fries too?

They probably haven't got any natural ingredients in them at all.

I add Chorizo if we have it (which we usually do). I also add liquid smoke when I can, but we're currently out of stock.

I use smoked paprika for a similar effect. Also, a dollop of tommy k can work wonders

Keep meaning to get some of that, it sounds great.

Are you saying you don't use stock?

Never have to date. Does one pour it in then simmer off the excess liquid it creates?
