When I cooked chilli con carne for the first time, I remember. It was years ago, and also it was so simple! I fried some beef and then ... I opened up a pack of seasoning mix! I added it to the meat together with tomatoes, a sprinkle of water and red kidney beans and done! Yes, despite the fact that I am ashamed to confess to it currently, I need to admit that I utilized a shop-bought mix to make that recipe in the past. Yet there is something a lot more embarrassing. When that ready to prepare package had not been available any longer, I quit preparing chilli con carne. Why? I thought back then that making it from square one was also challenging and that I would certainly never ever achieve the same taste.
When I lastly got my courage as well as a terrific recipe, also! I understood that thanks to cooking it myself, I recognized just what was in it. As well as it tasted possibly even much better than the one I used to make. No wonder then that it quickly turned into one of my family members's favorite dishes.
When my child chose to become vegan, I understood I had to face another difficulty. I had to cook a dish that is based on meat but without the meat. And also undoubtedly, I had to make it taste like a real thing.
