What makes a good chilli?

Conclusive evidence that ginger is better than chilli at warming you up.

I concur.

Beef mince, onion, chilli, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, oregano and a dash of lime juice, it also tastes better if you cook it the day before you want it.

Real chilli is made with lamb and it's quite dry, I prefer the the bastardised versions.

My quick and simple chili recipe.

Finely chopped onions gently fried, add garlic. Brown the mince then add ground cumin, ground coriander and chili powder. Add a can of chopped tomatoes, some tomato puree and season to taste. Add the kidney beans a bit later depending on how long you want to cook - can be ready in 30-40 mins but better to leave longer.

Serve with boiled basmati rice and / or pitta bread garnished with coriander leaves.

Bijou splashette - maybe
nice - well OK
red - fair enough
robust - fail!
