Questions about Chili no beans
How do you make chilli without beans taste fuller?
Brown the mince in batches so it colours rather than steams, then cook the onion and spices in the same pan. A spoonful of tomato purée, toasted cumin and smoked paprika adds depth; simmer until the sauce is thick.
How long should you simmer chilli without beans?
After browning the meat and adding the tomatoes and stock, simmer it gently, uncovered, for about 45 minutes, stirring now and then. Give it longer if the sauce is still thin; keep the heat low to stop the bottom catching.
What can you serve with chilli without beans?
Serve it with rice, baked potatoes or warm tortillas, and add chopped coriander, lime and grated cheese at the table. For a lighter contrast, try a crunchy slaw or sliced avocado.
Can you freeze chilli without beans?
Yes. Cool it promptly, then freeze in meal-sized airtight containers for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat in a saucepan until steaming hot throughout, stirring well.
What can you use instead of beans in chilli?
For extra substance without beans, add diced aubergine or finely chopped mushrooms; cook them until their moisture has evaporated before adding the tomatoes. Lentils work too, but they change the dish and need enough liquid to soften.
