A chunky pork chilli, inspired by this recipe recently. I’ve added and taken away, tweaked to Thermie standard and absolutely loved every minute I was eating it! Went down well with the rest of the family too …
Add and chop 3 seconds / speed 7:
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large red onion, quartered
- 1 red pepper/capsicum, quartered
- 1 fresh red chilli (or use 1/2 tsp chilli powder with the other dry spices)
- 2 garlic cloves
Add and cook 5 minutes / 100 degs / reverse / speed 1:
- 500g pork fillet, free range if poss, diced into 2cm cubes
- 2 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Add and cook 15 minutes / 100 degs / reverse / speed 1:
- 400g can chopped tomatoes*
- 400g can chick peas, drained and rinsed*
- 250g sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1-2cm cubes
- 40g tomato paste
- 1 tbs stock paste
- 20g balsamic vinegar
Add and cook 5 minutes / 100 degs / reverse / speed 1:
- 400g can of kidney beans, (or other beans of choice) drained and rinsed
Taste and add further seasoning, if required.
Serve with brown/white basmati or cauliflower rice and a side salad. Very hearty!
Alternatively, you could serve up with corn chips or cornbread.
Tips:
* My family are pretty fussy when it comes to lots of chunky veggies in a dish and Mr MaMT won’t look a chick-pea in the eye, in its natural state, so I tend to whizz up a can of plum tomatoes and chick peas before I start and just set aside to add later with the sweet potato etc.
Chick peas and sweet potato in chilli? Well why not 🙂 Lovely recipe with all the right spices. The pork is a nice alternative to the usual beef, too. I grew up in America eating chilli and this recipe looks great. Isn’t it just amazing how many different types of dishes you can make in your Thermomix? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jane! The more veggies and beans, the better! 😉
