Green Chilli con Carne with Chocolate

Here is a dish inspired by my visit to Cancun, from where I brought back some ingredients...

Mexican Chocolate, Serrano and Poblano Chillies, Tajin and a new inspiration for an old recipe.

Ingredients:

250g Miced Pork or Beef or both

1 Poblano Chilli, diced

1 Serrano Chilli, diced

1 green Birds Eye Chilli, chopped

1 Onion, chopped

3 Garlic cloves, chopped

1 tbs grated Mexican Chocolate

1 tin Chopped Tomatoes

1 tbs Tajin (mexican Chilli sauce with lime)

1-2 Bay leaves

1 tin Kidney Beans (drained)      

Brown the meat and season with Salt and Pepper. Add the chopped Chillies, Onion, Bayleaf and Garlic and sauté until fragrant and softened.

Next add the chopped Tomatoes, Chilli Sauce and grated Chocolate and check the seasoning for saltiness. 

Cover with a lid and simmer quietly for 30-40 minutes.

About half way through add the Kidney Beans.

Serve it with a dollop of Creme Fraiche and fresh chopped Coriander and

Tortilla Chips for dipping or Rice for a main meal :-)
