Chili Con Carne (Without Carne)

April 16th, 2009 Inge No comments

Bison ChiliIngredients (4 servings):

  • 1 small can black beans
  • 1 small can kidney beans
  • 1 small can chilli beans
  • 1 big can of brown beans
  • 1 small jar crunchy corn
  • 1 can peeled tomatoes
  • 2 onions
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 red chilli pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chilli powder

Directions:

It’s all very simple: cut the bell peppers, garlic, pepper and onion in small pieces. Take a fairly big pot and fry it on a moderate fire. Add chilli powder and the peeled tomatoes and mix everything well together. I mash the tomatoes in smaller pieces with the spoon I use to stir everything. If everything starts simmering again, you can turn down the flame until a small fire and put the lid on the pot. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. After that you can rinse the beans and add them to the mixture. Heat it for ten minutes, add the corn and you’re done.

If you are a carnivore, you can leave out about a pound of beans and substitute that with fried loose minced beef (or pork). You would start cooking the beef and then do everything else. I advise to season the meat with meat seasoning to up the flavour a bit.
