chili con carne'

When I asked which country originated chili con carne, he told me that he has no idea . He asked me to find that and tell him which country originated chili con carne.

Chili con carne was originated by Texas. He has mentioned central or South America.

I was looking at there when he was making chili con carne. Suddenly, I said “Bolognese sauce”. He looked at me and told me yes!

When I am asking something regarding cookery, he says “cookery is not easy to understand. It means every second we have to update and we have to be creative”.

He made chili con carne with Bolognese sauce. It is not the original recipe.

Actually, I saw every where that it had mentioned chili con carne doesn’t have original recipe. Usually chili con carne is always cooked with ground beef.

I have eaten chili con carne twice made with ground beef.

      When making chili con carne, the easiest method is make with Bolognese sauce.

Before making Bolognese sauce, what are the ingredients for Bolognese sauce?

·  1lb ground beef

·  Chopped garlic,  onion  , celery , carrot

·  Tomato puree or paste (what is the difference between tomato puree and paste? tomato puree is a thick liquid made by cooking and straining tomatoes. The difference between tomato paste, tomato purée, and tomato sauce is consistency; tomato puree has a thicker consistency and a deeper flavor than sauce. The definitions of tomato purée vary from country to country)

·  Fat or oil

·  Half cup of warm water

How to make Bolognese sauce?

·         Add chopped garlic, onion , celery ,carrot expect ground beef

·         Chopped ingredients cook until tender

·         Add ground beef and stir until reduce the water in ground beef

·         Mix tomato paste in to cooking ground beef, and mix properly

Add warm water slowly and stir. (What is the reason for adding warm water? Current situation, it means cooking process can be changed by adding the normal temperature.)

When preserving Bolognese, what is the best method of preserving Bolognese ?

ü  The best method is frozen.

Now we are going to make a chili con carne

·  Frozen Bolognese sauce, reduce the frozen.

·  Heat a pan little amount of fat or oil.

·  Then add the Bolognese in to the pan.

·  Cook under low fire.

·  Cook until reduce the water.

·  Test the taste, thickness, and season.

·  Next step is, add kidney beans.

·  Cook few minutes and take off fire.                                                                                                                       

What are kidney beans? Kidney beans may be imported or cultivate in your country. When buying kidney beans, could be canned or fresh. Any way, when using kidney beans make sure that, if  there is canned beans we don’t need to cook the beans. It means canned beans already been cooked. If there  are fresh kidney beans, we  have to boil or steam beforeusing for chili con carne.

Then stir slowly....

Now it has finished nicely ...now you can enjoyed your chilli con carne.
