EDITED JAN 2012...
Tomato puree is now free on slimming world, so this recipe is free too! I have adapted it slightly since I wrote this post. I now use mild chilli powder and use a tablespoon of it, for more flavour with less heat. Hubby then adds tabasco to make it hotter for him. Also, if you make it in the slow cooker, it doesn't need the tomato puree as it's really rich already. Finally I have changed thetypo in the post to say extra lean mince instead of lean.
Happy Chilli everyone!!!
ORIGINAL POST...
Well... this is the first time I've put a recipe on here, but it was so good tonight, and is every time we have it, so I thought I'd better!!! It's one of my favourite meals.
Good with rice or jacket potatoes, on a bed of salad, or even on toast!
This makes 2 huge portions, or 3 normal size. You could probably get 4 out of it if you wanted. The half syn is for the tomato puree, which is then split between however many portions, so it's negligible really.
400g Extra lean steak mince
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
1 tbsp tomato puree
1/2 - 1 tsp hot chilli powder (to taste)
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp coriander
2 tsp paprika
400g can chopped toms
400g can kidney beans
leftover baked beans (I use whatever's there, but about half a can is good)
5-6 medium mushrooms
Rice (75g per person)
Fat free From Frais or Nat Yog
1: Chop the onion and fry in frylight in large frying pan. Tip into saucepan.
2: Fry the mince in the same pan, then drain in a sieve over the sink to get rid of excess fat. Add to onion.
3: Grate in garlic, then add spices and tomato puree. Mix well.
4: Tip in the baked beans and chopped tomatoes.
5: Rinse the kidney beans and add to pan.
6: Chop and add mushrooms to pan. Stir together well.
7: Leave on a low heat with a lid on while the rice cooks to develop flavours.
Serve chilli on a bed of rice.
Sometimes I find this a little hot for me. To cool it down, I serve with a generous dollop of FF From Frais or Nat Yog. Yummy!!!
