When I prepared chilli con carne for the very first time, I remember. It was years ago, and it was so very easy! I fried some beef and then ... I opened a pack of seasoning mix! I added it to the meat along with tomatoes, a sprinkle of water and red kidney beans and done! Yes, even though I am ashamed to admit to it now, I have to confess that I used a shop-bought mix to make that meal in the past. Yet there is something even more embarrassing. When that prepared to prepare packet wasn't available any longer, I quit cooking chilli con carne. Why? I reflected then that making it from scratch was as well complicated and that I would certainly never ever attain the very same taste.
When I finally got my courage and a great recipe, also! I understood that thanks to cooking it myself, I understood what exactly was in it. And also it tasted possibly also much better than the one I used to make. No wonder then that it soon became one of my family members's favourite dishes.
When my child made a decision to become vegetarian, I knew I had to face an additional obstacle. I had to cook a dish that is based on meat but without the meat. And clearly, I needed to make it taste like a real thing.
