Today we made Chilli Con Carne, it is very similar to nachos. The ingredients used were: minced steak, corn chips, brown onion, garlic, chopped tomatoes, mexican chilli beans, chopped chilli, grated cheese, sugar, oil and salt and pepper to taste. This recipe was one of the multicultural recipes that was included in our recipe booklet. First we fried the onion, garlic and chilli until soft, then we added the mince until it went brown, then we added the tomatoes, chilli beans, and sugar plus salt and pepper and we cooked it until the mixture thickened, which took about 15-20 minutes. Then we took the frying pan of the heat and stirred grated cheese through the mixture. We then divided the mixture between two oven proof dishes and added corn chips and grated cheese on top. Finally, we placed the two dishes in the oven which was pre-heated to 180 degrees Celsius. It was in there until the cheese had melted and the corn chips were crispy. We finished early and we went to the back of the classroom and tried it. It tasted amazing! in the next lesson i handed my leftovers around the classroom and all comments were positive. I liked making this dish because it was from a different culture and in the future I can make it as a great snack and this recipe allows you to make different variations of it.
