Your post is preposterous. Minced beef chilli is more of a Tex-Mex thing, New Mexico and Mexico go for beef (as mentioned earlier) and is a delight and much better than 'sloppy' chilli. And in New Mexico it's chile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy on the phone laughed like a drain when I asked him about “beef shin”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I checked with El Chapo about correct way to cook beef and he said “who the f**k are you? Why are you in my cell?” Put him down as on the fence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried curry with lentils once and it was a stodgy mush. I don't know how you're supposed to cook them to a point where they're still whole, never mind putting them in something which needs to be on a heat for a long time like chilli. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Does anyone here use proper chilies to make theirs, such as ancho or guajillo? Using supermarket chili flakes results in a different dish (as does the use of mince) but I've not found a decent source in Scotland. Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 How do you cook lentils?The question was about chilli but it could just as easily be about curry. Go for Green, Puy or Brown lentils for a better taste and texture rather than the split red lentils.https://www.lentils.org/recipes-cooking/how-to-cook-lentils/#:~:text=like%20other%20pulses.-,Rinse%20your%20lentils%20with%20fresh%20water%20before%20boiling%20to%20remove,double%20or%20triple%20in%20size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you're supposed to cook them to a point where they're still whole, never mind putting them in something which needs to be on a heat for a long time like chilli. I normally use a tin of green lentils in water and they need maybe 30-40 mins or so. Might be a recipe somewhere on nom nom thread but it really is at least a decent rival to a meat one and you can use all sorts of veg. A decent chipotle sauce sets it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you're supposed to cook them to a point where they're still whole, never mind putting them in something which needs to be on a heat for a long time like chilli. I would make a separate dahl with lentils and add some of it at the end to thicken a curry - while keeping the rest of the dahl handy as a separate meal. A dinner/lunch next day combination. Serve with the premade packets of chapatis, that are the fucking tits when put in a hot, dry frying pan for 30 seconds each side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
