Chilli

I was totally influenced by Heston in Waitrose on this one. I walked in and there were big promos for 'Heston's Rich Winter Chilli' - and I thought that was a good idea.
Hemmed and hawed a bit about the meat. Ultimately rejected mince for a slab of feather steak, and a slab of sliced leg - both 'forgotten cuts', so pretty cheap. I knew we'd cooked the chilli for at least 2 hours, so they'd have a chance to get tender.
So - sliced the meat into strips - the feather steak much much softer than the leg meat, browned it, then fried onions, then added tins of tomatoes, returned the meat, added chilli powder - and let it cook for a few hours.
Towards the end, added beans, grilled peppers (deskinned and sliced) and its done.
Got rice, grated cheese, sour cream salsa (tomatoes, sour cream, coriander, lime) and even a green salad to go with.
It was very very hot - but very good.
