Instructions

  1. This chilli is freshly cooked and takes a lot of work. The preparation is also not a problem for beginners. It is worth experimenting with different types of vegetables and pepper. The selection of beans and wine also brings great variations. The variation of herbs and spices is a science in itself. Dried chilli gives a completely different spiciness than fresh red or green pods.
  2. Of course, you can also use pieces of meat, as in Nick`s recipe, or cook potato cubes.
  3. Cut all vegetables very finely. Leave the bacon in the lard, add the onion and garlic and sweat, then add the minced meat and continue frying.
  4. First add the leek, chilli, celery and carrots and fry, then sprinkle in the peppers and the fresh tomatoes, chilli powder, herbs, spices and bouillon, pour on the red wine
  5. If you like it spicier, add 1 - 3 teaspoons of leafy Turkish chili (bag). It`s also great for roasting in the kitchen or on pizza instead of Tabasco. Tabasco or Cayenne are of course also possible.
  6. After a further 15 minutes add the peeled tomatoes and the tomato paste, simmer with the lid closed, stirring occasionally, for at least 1.5 hours on a low level, stirring occasionally
  7. Add beans, If you are using different types, add the wax beans first, then the white beans and then the kidney beans. I mostly use canned food because it cooks for a short time and so the whole thing doesn`t burn so quickly. Super is a mix of red and black beans with wax beans. Season with lemon juice and a little sugar!
  8. Actually, that was all. But it is also delicious to add about 6 cups of sour cream. But I recommend testing the original version without sour cream first. If there are leftovers, heat them up with sour cream the next day
  9. There is also white bread and a green salad. You can drink dry reds (Margaux or South America) or a cold beer.
