When I prepared chilli con carne for the very first time, I bear in mind. It was several years ago, and it was so easy! I fried some beef and afterwards ... I opened a pack of flavoring mix! I added it to the meat together with tomatoes, a sprinkle of water and red kidney beans and done! Yes, although I am embarrassed to confess to it now, I need to admit that I used a shop-bought mix to make that recipe in the past. There is something even a lot more embarrassing. When that ready to prepare packet wasn't available anymore, I stopped preparing chilli con carne. Why? I thought back then that making it from scratch was also challenging which I would certainly never ever accomplish the same taste.
When I ultimately got my courage as well as a terrific 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 quickly turned into one of my family's favourite meals.
Nevertheless, when my child chose to become vegan, I understood I needed to encounter an additional difficulty. I had to prepare a meal that is based upon meat but without the meat. As well as obviously, I needed to make it taste like a actual thing.

I must say, I didn't have a trouble with discovering a substitute for meat. Equally as it remained in the instance of another of my vegetarian/vegan makeovers - Bolognese sauce, I made use of mushrooms. In my point of view, it is rather simple to achieve a texture as well as appearance of fried minced meat when you use very finely cut champignons instead.
I still desired to get the very same taste of the Vegetarian Chili Con Carne as we recognized from the Chili with meat. I chose to take the easiest path as well as use for my Veggie Chilli Con Carne the very same items and also flavors as I did for the conventional Chilli. That also included my secret, magical ingredient - dark chocolate, which transforms this delicious meal to the next, genuine taste level.
