Chilli con Carne
Chili con carne is a Spanish word for “Chili with meat”. During the early days this recipe is made out of dried beef, a type of beef fat called suet, dried chilli and salt which are then pounded together and dried on bricks which make its shelf life longer as it was consumed on early expeditions, then they boil it on pot while on their trail. But the new age versions are made out of beans, tomatoes, chili peppers, garlic, onions, cumin and ground beef.
A very versatile dish which can be consumed on its own or as a part of another dish such as Nachos, Hot Dog on buns, burgers or even french fries.
