An Easy Keto Chili Con Carne recipe that you can make at The traditional way of making chili con carne is not low carb or keto-friendly but keto chili con Carne is. Normally Chili Con Carne contains kidney. When you remove the chillies before serving, toss them into a mini chopper with a splash more oil and blitz to make a chilli oil paste. I improvised on the chillies ( xtra chilli powder and cayenne) and i topped it with red pepper flakes.
Chilli con carne (but no carne) step by step
Get a large non stick pot and add some sunflower oil in and turn on the heat to medium.
Peel the shallots and chop them up down to a reasonably small size.
Throw them into the pot and cook until they brown a little then turn down the heat to a low to give you time for the mushrooms.
Chop up the mushrooms and add to the pot, increase heat to medium when everything is in.
Cook until the mushrooms reduce in size and brown/grey.
Add the two cans of tomatoes, and red kidney beans.
Stir for about 2 minutes then add your concentrate.
Add some cocoa, about a teaspoon and a half.
Add your spices, the amount which is to your liking of coarse (I like a fairly spicy chilli).
(Optional) Rule of thumb when cooking rice: if you have a set amount of rice, add twice the amount of water plus a teeny bit more.
Add your rice and water into a pot that you will cook it in.
Cook on high until the water evaporates (mine came out like that:).
So mine was extremely spicy and it came out salty and sour-ish. A steaming bowl of smoky chilli con carne is hard to beat.
