Chilli Con Carne

A quick and easy post work/school meal. Tip: Chilli tastes nicer the day after – pop  leftovers into the fridge for work tomorrow.

Ingredients

1. 500g of minced meat.

2. 1 red onion

3. 1 courgette

4. 1 tin of kidney beans

5. 10 chestnut mushrooms

6. Half a tube of tomato puree

7. 1 tin of chopped tomatoes.

8. Chilli/paprika – add to taste.

9. Red wine – some for you, some for the chilli? A small dash.

Method:

1. Fry the sliced onion until soft. Add the meat and cook until brown. Break any chunks down with a spoon. Add a dash of wine if you want to.

2. Add the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and kidney beans and stir until fully mixed. At this point I usually add paprika and some chilli to taste.

3. Add some chopped mushrooms and courgette.

4. Leave to simmer for 40 mins on low heat. Add to rice.
