Chile con carne

Another great recipe tonight from Paloma de la Rica for cold winter days. Mind you the other day I was in Strasbough and froze to death. This recipe is awesome for winter days.

All you need is:

-400 grs of mince.
-1 red pepper.
-1 green pepper.
-3 cloves of garlic.
-1 onion.
-1 can of 800 grs of diced tomatoes.
-400 grs. of red beans.
-1 teaspoon of sugar.
-1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
-salt and black pepper.
-4 cayenne pepper.
-some oregano.
-some garlic powder.

-1/3 cup of espresso coffee.

-some corn (optional)

STEPS:

1. Dice up the red pepper, green pepper and the onion and the garlic, I do it all in the same pot (unlike this photo shows).
2. Throw it into the saucepan until it all becomes soft.
3. Add the meat and then you will have migas of meat.
4. In a deep pot, put the diced tomatoes and throw all the spices, sugar, pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, garlic powder, etc...and add the beans. Add the expresso coffee cup! yes you read right, coffee is such a wonderful ingredient, it will make the chili taste amazing, but be very careful and do not add too much or it will overpower the whole thing.
5. Add the meat with the veggies and let it all simmer for at least 30 minutes. Season with salt, sugar, more oregano, etc.
6. Voila, done! a great dish, accompanied by rice. 

Great recipe. I made mine pretty spicy and loved it and my Bible study too. By the way...it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
