Recipe: Chili

In the pressure cooker brown about 1.5kg of cubed beef (I used the fat leftover from this). You'll probably have to do 2 or 3 batches!

Meanwhile, dice an onion, chop some garlic (5 small cloves), and roughly cut up a carrot. When the meat is brown on most sides, add all of this into the pot along with:

• a can of beer (if you can get to it before your boyfriend does)
• a can of chopped tomatoes
• a packet of tomato paste
• about a cup of beef stock
• as much chilli powder as you can handle (I forgot this, and added it at the end when I served. It was fine)
• as much water as necessary to cover the meat completely

Cook for about an hour. Once cool enough to open, you might want to reduce the liquid - or add less to begin with?

I'm sure you could hide some extra vegetables in there if you wanted.
