Chocolate
Chilli con Carne
Okay, it sounds very strange but it really works.
The chocolate gives a lovely dark glaze and even adds an extra rich flavour that marries well.
I serve it with either boiled rice or spooned into a baked potato. We served this dish at my shop on Monday as one of our hot lunches so here‚s your chance to try it before cooking it yourselves.

Ingredients
serves 4
One tbsp oil;
One onion, peeled and chopped;
One level tsp chilli powder;
450g lean minced beef;
Two x 295g tins red kidney beans, drained;
25g good dark chocolate, grated;
One desp tomato puree;
Salt and freshly ground black pepper;
A little stock or red wine, to moisten.

Method
Heat the oil in a saucepan; add the onion and chilli powder and fry gently for three minutes to soften the onion.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
