👩‍🍳 How To Make Delia Smith Chili Con Carne

1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 2–3 minutes, or until they are lightly yellow. Put in the garlic and fry for one more minute.
2. Fry the ground beef for about 8 minutes, or until the meat is completely cooked through.
3. Toss in the spices (cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper), along with the tomato paste, and cook for 2 minutes while stirring.
4. Put in the beans, tomato sauce, and beef stock. Sprinkle in more salt and pepper, mix in some parsley, and bring to a simmer over low heat.
5. Keep cooking, stirring regularly, for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the chili reaches a desired thickness.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Browning the meat is an essential step. At this stage, flavor is first added. If you want to add more flavor, try browning it in some bacon fat.
• Don’t crowd the pan when browning the meat. Meat that is overcrowded in a pan will steam instead of brown, and you won’t get nearly as many flavor notes.
• Season properly and early on. When salt is added at the start of cooking, other flavors have a chance to develop. At the end, give it a taste to see if extra seasoning is needed.
• Just before serving, splash on some vinegar to amp up the flavor. It may sound strange, but before serving long-cooked foods, add a tablespoon of red wine vinegar. The dish’s appeal will skyrocket in your presence.
• In the same way that stew improves with age, Chili is best the day after it has been made and reheated.
