When I cooked chilli con carne for the initial time, I remember. It was many years back, and it was so simple! I fried some beef and afterwards ... I opened a pack of flavoring mix! I added it to the meat in addition to tomatoes, a splash of water as well as red kidney beans and done! Yes, although I am embarrassed to admit to it currently, I need to admit that I used a shop-bought mix to make that dish in the past. There is something even a lot more embarrassing. When that all set to prepare packet wasn't readily available any longer, I stopped cooking chili con carne. Why? I thought back then that making it from the ground up was also complex and that I would certainly never attain the same taste.
When I ultimately got my nerve as well as a fantastic recipe, too! I understood that thanks to cooking it myself, I knew exactly what was in it. And it tasted probably even better than the one I used to make. No surprise then that it soon became one of my family's favorite dishes.
Nevertheless, when my child chose to become vegan, I understood I needed to face another difficulty. I needed to prepare a dish that is based on meat but without the meat. And undoubtedly, I had to make it taste like a actual thing.
