I couldn't care less how traditional, original or otherwise my recipe for chilli con carne is but it tastes good.

1/2 pound minced beef
large onion
several cloves of garlic
2/3 chopped green chillis (seeds removed)
chilli powder to taste (we like it hot but tone down for guests)
tin chopped tomatoes
tomato puree
mixed herbs (parsley sage rosemary thyme bay oregano)
tin red kidney beans
beef stock
2 glasses red wine (1 for the pot and 1 for the cook)

We usually eat it with rice but sometimes with grated cheese and creme fraiche flavoured with lime in a tortilla wrap
