I keep in mind when I cooked chilli con carne for the first time. It was many years back, as well as it was so simple! I fried some beef and after that ... I opened up a pack of spices mix! I added it to the meat in addition to tomatoes, a sprinkle of water and also red kidney beans and done! Yes, despite the fact that I am embarrassed to confess to it now, I have to confess that I used a shop-bought mix to make that meal in the past. However there is something even more humiliating. When that all set to prepare packet had not been available any longer, I quit preparing chilli con carne. Why? I thought back then that making it from scratch was also complicated which I would certainly never accomplish the exact same taste.
When I finally got my courage and also a wonderful dish, as well! I understood that thanks to cooking it myself, I knew what exactly was in it. As well as it tasted probably even far better than the one I used to make. Not surprising that then that it soon became one of my household's much-loved meals.
Nevertheless, when my daughter chose to become vegan, I knew I needed to deal with one more difficulty. I had to prepare a meal that is based upon meat but without the meat. As well as undoubtedly, I had to make it taste like a real thing.
