Chilli Con Carne

The chilli con carne recipe I base mine on is from Jane Kennedy's book 'OMG! I Can Eat That?' (she writes great books).

I had never tries it before making it, but my gamble at trying it paid off. It's really good and we eat it all the time. I do add kidney beans and I often eat it with brown rice and an avocado salsa- I dont like to just chow down on a bowl full of meat.

recipe:
1 medium onion diced
500g beef mince
1tsp onion powder
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp cumin
1tsp paprika
1tsp dried origano
1/2tsp cayanne pepper
1/2tsp crushed chilli flakes
1/2tsp sugar
1 can diced tomato
1 can rinsed kidney beans
beef stock concentrate
1 cup pasata

method:
brown the onions in a small amount of oil- add some salt to them to help them sauté not fry.
once onions are soft add all dry spices and stir until you can smell the aroma.
add mince and brown
add canned tomatoes, beef stock and pasata and simmer for arround 20-30 minutes
add kidney beans 5 min before serving

serve with  brown rice, plain greek yoghurt and avocado
