My kind of chili con carne

I had a few black eyed peas at home so I’ve decided to cook them today. Unfortunately I was too distracted and were way too salty. In our house we don’t waste anything, so I needed to find a way to make them edible ๐Ÿคช

Then, like always, my husband is the one full of ideas, actually he is the master chef in our kitchen and I’m the sous chef ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณย  he’s for the food, I’m for the baking ๐Ÿ˜Šย  came with the idea to make chili con carne and use my too salty black eyed peas.

In a saucepan, I’ve put finely chopped onions and carrots with extravirgin olive oil and I’ve cooked them for around 3-4 minutes. I have added minced beef, tomatoes sauce, NO salt obviously ๐Ÿ™„ย ๐Ÿ˜Šย a little bit ofย pepper, paprika and chili flakes and I let it simmer for around 20-30 minutes. Once ready I’ve added the cooked black eyed peas.

Our chili con carne was ready. And of course everything goes well with a Corona, “La Cerveza Mas Fina”. What a great dinner we had ๐Ÿ˜Šย and the most important nothing was wasted ๐Ÿ˜‰

  1. Great idea Ribana. My husband always either gets things too salty or not enough. Heโ€™s the chief cook nowadays since I canโ€™t do anything. I LOVE chilli con carne!

  2. Ma รจ semplicemente delizioso e sicuramente squisito… Bellissime anche le foto si vedono distintamente anche gli ingredienti… Good Job… Nemo&Nancy di NemoInCucina!!!

    1. Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š Yes, it is spicy but not too much ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‹ Doing it at home you can always control the level of spiciness and can do it as you like ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‹

  3. Great idea dear Riby ๐Ÿ˜Š and greetings to your husband the master of ideas hahah sounds delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹ I donโ€™t know why everyone is asking you if itโ€™s spicy ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„ Isnโ€™t that obvious
