There seems to be a thing for adding dark chocolate to chili.
Haven't tried it myself yet.
Yeah, it's good. Just 1 square (the thin fancy squares - not a dairy milk square) for a big pan full.
Makes it a nice richer colour, and tastes richer too. It's the same as adding a pinch of sugar for the most part, but the colour is good and I think it can fill out a slight flat spot in the taste.
I dunno what's in your chilli mix sachets, but extra cumin *might* be good.
The missus did something like that with a bolognaise in a Le Creuset, but only partially.
Tasted foul, she now has strict instructions never to do it again.
Maybe its your lack of taste, what did the rest of the family think?
One of my specialities is chille con carne, two days worth in a big cauldron
500g beef mince
500g lambs mince
2 med onions
8 tomatos
loads of mushrooms
4 sweet peppers
2 chille peppers
1/4 l of water
tin of mixed beans
sachets of chille con carne mis
crusty bread.
Not so special, huh ?
But I put the last bit on for me, after the missus went to bed. I played a bit of my game, and forgot it was on the stove.
So I goes out to give it a stir, and a little bit has stuck to the bottom of the pan and burned a little. Scrape as I could, I couldn't get the last bit of burney stuff off the wooden spoon, but when I tasted it, it was perfect.
So I deliberately set out to do it to the whole pan. Boiled it dry, then burned it through. It's absolutely fantastic.
a most brilliant and fantastic discovery
that wouldn't last two days at chateau benes
