chilli recipe

A delicious hot relish to serve with grilled or barbecued meats and fish.

Sweetcorn and chilli relish

sweetcorn cobs

onion, sliced as finely as possible

red chillies, deseeded and chopped (optional)

coriander seeds, crushed

lime

caster sugar

rice vinegar vinegar

salt

tsp cornflour

Shuck the kernels off the cobs (this is most easily done by standing each cob upright in a large bowl and running a knife down it, mowing the corn as you go). Cook the corn in plenty of boiling, salted water for about 2 minutes and drain well.

In a saucepan, mix the onion, chillies, if using, coriander seeds, lime zest and juice, sugar, vinegar and salt. Bring to the boil and simmer hard for about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat, add the sweetcorn and simmer gently for 20 minutes.

Mix the cornflour with 4 tablespoons water to make a paste. Add this to the sweetcorn mixture and bring the heat back up to a simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Transfer to a sterilised jar and cool. You can either eat it immediately or keep in a cool place for up to 3 months.

This chilli is great for casual entertaining - just lay everything out and let people add their own toppings

Black bean chilli

olive oil

garlic cloves, finely chopped

onions,

tbsp sweet pimenton (Spanish paprika)

tbsp cumin

tbsp cider vinegar

brown sugar

tomatoes

cream

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and fry the garlic and onions for 5 mins until almost softened. Add the pimenton and cumin, cook for a few mins, then add the vinegar, sugar, tomatoes and some seasoning. Cook for 10 mins.

Pour in the beans and cook for another 10 mins. Serve with rice and the accompaniments of your choice in small bowls.

Grilling the vegetables – plus the addition of some dark chocolate and a spoonful of chipotle paste – is the secret to adding that extra oomph to this chilli.

Smoky Aubergine & Red Pepper Chilli

Aubergines

Mixed Peppers

Red Onions

Garlic Cloves

Tsp Ground Cumin

Tsp Dried Oregano

Tbsp Chipotle Paste, Plus Extra To Serve

Tins of Kidney Beans

Squares of Dark Chocolate

Limes

Bunch of Fresh Coriander (25 grams)

Baguette

Tbsp Yoghurt

Slice the aubergine, pepper and 1½ red onions into medium-sized chunks. Spread out onto your largest baking tray. Drizzle liberally with olive oil and add some salt and black pepper to season. Cook under the hot grill for 15 mins, tossing the veg every 5 mins, until collapsed and blackened in places.

Meanwhile finely chop all the garlic cloves. Scrape two-thirds into a small bowl to be used later. Get a large saucepan over a medium heat and drizzle in a little oil. Add the remaining garlic, fry for 30 seconds and then spoon in the cumin and oregano. Cook for 30 seconds more. Add the chipotle paste and tip in the chopped tomatoes.

Drain the kidney beans and add to the pan. Refill one of the cans halfway with water. Pour that in too. Bring to the boil and season with salt and black pepper. Add the grilled veg and the chocolate to the pan. Give everything a good mix then leave the chilli to simmer away for 20 mins.

Thinly slice the remaining onion half and scrape into a small bowl. Cut one lime in half and squeeze in the juice. Season and scrunch with your hands as this will help the onion quick-pickle. Set aside.

Finely chop most of the coriander and add to the bowl of chopped garlic. Pour in 4 tbsp of olive oil. Slice the baguette on a diagonal, lay the bread onto a baking tray and spoon over the garlic oil. Bake in the oven for 10 mins until crisp and golden.

The trick to bags of flavour in this chilli is blackening the onion and garlic for the chipotle sauce. It adds a smoky depth which complements the chipotle. Ideal for batch cooking, you could even double the quantities of this chipotle chilli con carne and then keep portions in the freezer - ideal for when you need an instant Mexican-inspired meal to hand. If you enjoy cooking with spice, you’re going to really get a kick out of the flavours in this simple chilli.

Chipotle Chilli Recipe

Onion

Garlic Clove

Red Pepper

Cumin Seeds

Chipotle Paste

Tinned Plum Tomato

Tomato Purée

Oregano

Beef Mince

Drained Cooked Kidney Beans

Reserved Kidney Bean Liquid

Dark Chocolate

Salt

Black Pepper

Coriander

Soured Cream

Avocado

Lime Wedge

Rice

Tortilla Chip

Cheddar

Peel the onion. Cut in half then finely chop one of the halves, leaving the other whole. Peel the garlic cloves, leaving them whole. Finely chop the red pepper and set it aside along with the chopped onion.

Get a large saucepan, or casserole pan that you’ll cook the chilli in, set over a high heat. Once visibly hot, add the halved onion and whole garlic cloves to the dry frying pan. Cook for 3-5 mins, flipping halfway through, until both are becoming nicely charred, then remove the pan from the heat.

Put the charred garlic and onion into a blender. Add the cumin seeds to the pan and let them toast in the residual heat for a minute or so, tossing them so they don’t burn, then tip them into the blender. Add the chipotle paste, plum tomatoes, tomato purée and dried oregano then blitz until it becomes a smooth sauce. This is the base for your chilli.

Set the pan back over a high heat. Tip in the mince along with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Season, then fry for 5-8 mins, breaking the mince up with the back of your spoon until evenly crisp and browned. Remove with a slotted spoon into a bowl.

Turn the heat down to medium, add the chopped onion and pepper along with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally until soft, around 8-10 mins.

Add the mince back to the pan, then pour in the chipotle sauce along with the kidney beans and all of their water, then half fill the can with water and add that into the pan, too. Add the dark chocolate, if using.

Simmer the chilli, stirring occasionally, for 30 mins until the sauce has thickened and is clinging to the meat, then season to taste. Serve with all your favourite accompaniments: rice, coriander, sour cream, smashed avo, lime wedges, tortilla chips, grated cheddar, if you like. Enjoy. 

Really delicious chilli, will definitely make again!

I added beef stock and replaced the chocolate with cocoa (because I always eat any chocolate in the house) - worked beautifully

I make this once a week, so comforting and delicious.

Student dinners don't get easier than this. Make a big batch of this beefy chilli con carne and you'll be able to make a load of easy meals throughout the week.

Beef Chilli Con Carne

Red Bell Pepper

Chilli Powder

Smoked Paprika

Cumin

Tinned Chopped Tomatoes

Beef Stock

Frozen Sweetcorn

Finely dice the onion and red peppers. Crush the garlic.

Add a drizzle of olive oil into a large lidded saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, fry the mince in batches, making sure it doesn’t stew. Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside.

Add another glug of oil into the pan. Then, add the onion and pepper. Stir-fry over until softened, 7 mins, then add the garlic and fry until fragrant.

Stir in the tomato purée, chilli powder, paprika and ground cumin. Cook for 2 mins stirring all the time.

Add the tinned tomatoes and drained kidney beans. Mix well, then return the mince to the pan and pour in the beef stock. The mince should all be covered. If not, add a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper. At this point, taste the chilli – if you want more spice, add a wee bit more chilli powder.

Simmer the chilli until thickened to your liking, or bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, place a lid on and leave to cook gently for up to 1 hr 30 mins, depending on how much time you have. Simmering for a longer time will mean a thicker, richer end result, but it’s still delicious eaten straight away if you don’t have the time or are too hungry.

Stir the sweetcorn through until defrosted before serving. Optional: if batch cooking for the week, transfer to Tupperware containers.

Good recipe! I left out the frozen sweetcorn and added some mushrooms and chocolate BBQ sauce (my secret ingredient) and it came out really well

Very good and easy batch cooking, thanks.

I slow cooked this for 12 hours... then oven baked it on top of tortilla chips for a quick, loaded nacho situation. Yum!

Lovely base recipe. I was cooking for 4, so doubled to get 3 meals.  Made burrito bowls tonight, quesadillas for couple of nights time, and stuck a 3rd in the freezer for another day.

Very good! I made mine with a meat alternative mince and a side of guacamole 🥑

This chilli is so great🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 no bias 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️

Made this last night, simple yet delicious! Still hesitating between making the nachos or the quesadillas with the leftover. 🤔

A slow-cooked chilli with a delicious hint of rich dark chocolate. Give it go!

Chilli Chocolate Con Carne

Diced Beef

Red Onion

Bell Pepper

Chilli Flakes

Tomatoes

Sour Cream

Heat a splash of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan set over a medium heat, then brown the beef in two batches on all sides. Once cooked, remove the beef from the pan. Finely slice the onions and add half of them to the pan with another glug of olive oil. Cook for 5 mins until starting to soften. Meanwhile, finely slice the garlic and chop the red pepper into 2cm pieces. 

Add the garlic and red pepper to the pan and cook for 2 mins, then add the cumin, smoked paprika, chilli flakes and tomato purée. Cook for 1-2 mins, then pour in the chopped tomatoes, beef stock and drained and rinsed kidney beans. Return the beef to the pan, give it a stir and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 3-3½ hrs until the beef is falling apart and tender. Once cooked, give it a good mix and it will start to break up.

Grate the chocolate into the chilli, mixing well, then season with salt and pepper. Roughly chop the coriander. Serve the chilli in bowls topped with soured cream, the remaining onion, coriander and extra chilli flakes. 

Really nice chilli! The chocolate was a bit much though and in my opinion overpowered the other flavours - next time I will add a little bit of the chocolate at a time to taste.

Everyone loved this chilli. Making it again this weekend! Crowd pleaser!
