Just Chill Out!


1 slice of good bacon (opt) 1 1/2 white onion diced  1-2 grilled and cleaned red bell peppers  3 garlic cloves diced  SPICES (pinch chilli flakes, 1/2 t cayenne pepper, 1T cocoa, 1 t salt, 1t pepper mix, 1t paprika, pinch cinnamon, 1/4t cumin, 1 bailey leave, 1/2 t garlic powder, 1 t ground coriander), dash of tequila or balsamic vinegar, 400g minced chicken/turkey meat, 1 big can of beans, 1 can peeled tomato,  4T tomato purée, dash of ketchup! 

My very first chilli... i love it! i must admit it may be a little to "deep" for most people i guess i went a little crazy and used almost the entire spice cabinet! Still it's not hot at all, but you'll leave the table breathing better.... ahahahah! Here it goes.... oh and this time I went totally nuts and added 3 chocolate bits 5 minutes before serving... Let's just say i won't be eating anything else today! Ahahaha.... well enjoy!!!!


  In a large skillet, fry the diced bacon and put aside. Sauté the onions, then add the peppers and the spices. Add the garlic and right after de glaze with the balsamic vinegar or add the tequila. In goes the meat, stir around and add the beans and tomato. At last add the bacon  and let it cook at low heat for 15-20 minutes! Done! Overall takes 30 minutes to do! Serve with bread, white rice or just spoon it down! fresh it up with fresh herbs, like mint hum i'll try that next time! I'll also be trying another version with chipotle when i can find it!
