Chili Con Carne Recipe
1) Take your large pot and drizzle olive oil
in so that it covers the base of the pot. Usually 3-6 tablespoons.But
don't heat it yet.2) Dice the
butternut squash into small chunks. If you have a steamer, steam the
vegetables until they are soft. Steaming veg retains more nutrients that
cooking. Otherwise, soften in a pot on a medium-low heat. 
4) Now steam the veg. Or, heat the pot and
cook the Corgettes and Peppers. They'll soften quicker than the
butternut. If you used a steamer, you may have to steam the
butternut for longer, before it softens. By
now all of the Veg should be soft and yummy! 5) Then take 500g of minced meat (preferably fresh
from the butcher, as it may be cheaper and tastier than the
supermarket)! Cook in the pan/wok until the meat has turned brown. Add the Veg to the pan/wok.

6) Pour in the can of chopped tomatoes. Lower
the heat slightly to avoid boiling the tomatoes. Keep Stiring. Drain the
sweetcorn and add it to the pot.7)
Now add 1 tsp of cumin, thyme and paprika. Half a tsp of chili
powder/sauce and the secret ingredient, a tbspoon of cocoa powder. Stir
Well. Place the lid on the pot and keep on a low heat for 20 mins,
stirring occasionaly. 8) Now
start the rice. Place the rice in the smaller pot with water. The water
should, just cover the top of the rice. Add a tbspoon of Red palm or
Canola oil and a tsp salt. Cook on a medium heat, adding water when
needed, for 20 mins. 9) It'll be
ready once the rice is soft and all of the water has been aborbed. The
chili con carne recipe is now complete. 10)
Bon Apetite.
