Coal chili
45 minutes ยท serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 pound ground beef, or two cans of beans for a meatless pot
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup water or broth
- Salt
Method
- 1
Soften the onion in a little oil, then the garlic. Don't rush it.
- 2
Brown the beef if you are using it, or rinse and add the beans.
- 3
Stir in the spices until they smell toasted, then the tomatoes and water.
- 4
Nestle the pot in coals, not in flame. Simmer until it thickens, about half an hour, stirring so the bottom does not catch.
- 5
Salt at the end. It always needs more than you think.
