tablespoon oil.
- 1 onion,
finely chopped.
- 2 cloves
of garlic, crushed.

teaspoon oregano.
- 1/2
teaspoon cumin seeds.
- 1 cup of
water or beef stock.
- Salt &
pepper to taste.
Method:
-
Heat oil in a large pan, add
onion, garlic & chili, stirring until onion
is soft & translucent.
-
Add mince, cook until
browned lightly.
-
Add undrained tomatoes,
oregano, cumin, kidney beans & season.
-
Add beef stock or water,
bring to the boil.

Notes:
This is one of those recipes
that can be modified to suit individual tastes.
Authentic chili con carne doesn't contain tinned
tomatoes or kidney beans. You can add more or
less chili according to taste.
This can be prepared a day ahead
if properly refrigerated. In fact this is one
such recipe that tastes better the next day.
