Instructions

  1. Chop 1 onion and 1 garlic clove. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes until softened.
  2. Add 500 g minced meat and brown for 3-5 minutes, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
  3. Chop the 2 bell peppers (1 red and 1 green) into roughly 1 cm pieces. Add to the pan along with 2 tablespoons tomato paste, fresh chilli peppers (amount according to your preferred spiciness), and cayenne pepper (amount to taste). Fry for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in 500 ml broth to deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Add 2 cans peeled tomatoes (approximately 400 g each) and 2 bay leaves. Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes.
  5. Drain 1 can kidney beans (420 g) and 1 small can corn. Coarsely chop 50 g dark chocolate. Add the beans, corn, and chocolate to the saucepan and stir well to combine.
  6. Roughly chop 1 bunch fresh basil and fold gently into the chili. Taste and season with salt and additional cayenne pepper to taste.
  7. Ladle into bowls and top each serving with a spoonful of creme fraiche and cheese.
