Chili Con Carne

This recipe is different to the mainstream Con Carnes. It has a distinctive aroma and an equally impressive taste. This recipe originated from a VERY old mexican cookbook my mum purchased 20 years ago.

Very simple to put together and universally lapped up by the whole family. The aromas while cooking were wonderful. I added the extra beans as well, and we topped the chili with a salsa of chopped green onions and coriander leaves. I served this with polenta - a great match. Thanks - now a family favorite.
