Chilli con carne - Dinner Twist style! Using our own hand blended spice mix makes cooking quick and delicious. This is a classic dish and a good recipe to double up if you have people over! You can vary the toppings and sides to taste.
1. Heat a large pan with 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef mince for 6-8 minutes, or until browned. Break up any lumps with a spoon.
2. Grate carrot, slice spring onions and celery. Add to pan with crushed garlic and 1 1/2 tbsp spice mix. Cook briefly, stir in tomato passata and 1 tsp honey. Cover, cook for 10 minutes.
3. Remove kernels from corn cob, dice cucumber and quarter cherry tomatoes. Toss together in a bowl with juice from 1/2 lime and 1/2 tbsp olive oil.
4. Rinse beans and add to pan, season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Use a stick mixer to blend avocado with 2 tbsp yoghurt (see notes) and remaining lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Serve chilli con carne with corn strips, topped with corn salsa.
Tip! Swap yoghurt for mayonnaise if you prefer.
