Kettle: Fiery Chili Con Carne
The perfect kettle: fiery chili con carne recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
Spice mix
- 3 Can Beans
- 1 Can Corn
- 500 g Sieved tomatos
- 75 g Tomato paste
- 2 piece Red peppers
- 3 piece Carrot
- 3 piece Clove of garlic
- 3 piece Onion
- 2 piece Chilli pepper
- 4 tbsp Chili oil
- Salt
- 500 ml Fund
- 1 liter Water
- 2 tbsp Ground cumin
- 2 tbsp Sweet paprika powder
- 0,5 tbsp Hot paprika powder
- 0,5 tbsp Cayenne
preparation
- Rinse the canned vegetables (approx. 450 grams per can with a drained weight of 200-250 grams), cut the onions, peppers and carrots into small pieces. Place the kettle over the flame and heat it up.
The chili roasting steps
- Add oil (I use my own chilli-garlic-pepper oil) to the hot kettle and heat it up. Sweat the onions and peppers until golden. Add the garlic, stir briefly.
- Roast the minced meat. After about 3-4 minutes add the spice mixture, toast briefly, add the tomato paste concentrate, toast again briefly. Stir it again and again.
“Ablöschen” und Köcheln
- Deglaze with the tomatoes, add the chilli peppers (note the degree of spiciness) and bring to the boil. Then hang the kettle a little higher and reduce the heat.
- Add the stock (or dissolved soup cubes). Let the carrots cook in it (approx. 20 minutes depending on the size of the pieces).
- Pour about a liter of water, boil the beans and corn in it and reduce to the desired consistency.
- Finally, season with salt and pepper.
Tips for cooking with the kettle
- There is always a lot of heat, pay attention to personal protection (especially the legs), never leave the fire alone.
- Always stir the food, otherwise it will burn quickly. In the water, keep it ready to be poured and pour generously (the water evaporates quickly).
- If you like to sit by the fire a little longer (you can see how late it has become from our pictures), just keep adding water, but I recommend not adding the beans to the kettle too early for the chilli, otherwise they will (too ) soft-boiled. Alternatively, use dried beans, which take a much longer cooking time.
Serving suggestion
- Enjoy straight from the kettle with flatbread (tortilla) or white bread. In Mexico, rice is also often served with chilli.
- Chili as “chili” can be a little liquid. If you use the chilli as a filling for tacos or enchiladas, you should reduce it a lot and let it boil down.
