I bear in mind when I cooked chilli con carne for the very first time. It was several years earlier, as well as it was so simple! I fried some beef and afterwards ... I opened up a pack of seasoning mix! I added it to the meat along with tomatoes, a splash of water and red kidney beans and done! Yes, even though I am ashamed to admit to it now, I need to admit that I used a shop-bought mix to make that recipe in the past. However there is something even more awkward. When that prepared to prepare packet had not been readily available any longer, I stopped cooking chilli con carne. Why? I reflected then that making it from square one was also complicated and that I would never ever achieve the exact same taste.
When I lastly got my guts as well as a excellent recipe, too! I understood that thanks to cooking it myself, I knew what exactly was in it. And it tasted probably also far better than the one I used to make. Not surprising that then that it soon became one of my family's favourite meals.
When my daughter decided to become vegetarian, I knew I had to face one more obstacle. I had to prepare a dish that is based on meat but without the meat. And also certainly, I had to make it taste like a real thing.
