Chilli con carne comes in and out of fashion but if we're honest, even if it does remind us of our less sophisticated student days, it's always a favourite. As students I doubt we gave much thought to the nutritional value of the meal yet it was and still is the perfect food for study. Rich in fibre and slow releasing carbohydrates for improved mental performance, kidney beans are also a good source of iron for energy, magnesium to ease nervous tension, and the beef gives us much needed protein for satiety and cellular repair.
Avocado Salsa:
Combine the ingredients together and serve on top of the chilli.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the chilli, capsicum and spices and stir through. Add the beef and cook stirring often until the meat has browned. Add the mushrooms, tomatoes and stock and kidney beans. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to simmer for 40 - 50 minutes until much of the liquid has reduced.
Note : chilli and cayenne pepper both help to boost the metabolism and aid weight loss.
