Quick Chilli


I made this meal quite a while ago after seeing the recipe on Iron Chef Shellie’s site. I have cooked a few things from her website and they have all been great, so I knew this would be a winner too which it was.



The recipe is a Nigella recipe which also gave me an incentive to try it. I must say I do love any dish that combines chorizo, tomato and rice which is pure comfort food. I love the addition of sweet chilli sauce too, cause I always used to add that as my special ingredient whenever I made spaghetti Bolognese that even my dad started adding it to his as well.



I can’t have chilli without sour cream and avocado, so I added them as well. I will definitely be making this again when I am next in the mood for something quasi Mexican!

Oooh, so colourful! However, you can feel more authentic than me, at least - my quasi Mexican chilli recipe uses kangaroo mince :P

I think I've made this chilli too but ages ago (before blog :P) and remember it very fondly. I think there was a cornbread topping recipe too which was really good!

I wish I could handle my chilli better, I always need a glass of milk nearby :(
