Saves a lot of arseing about waiting for it to reduce to the correct constituency though, great back up and as i've said makes not a jot of difference to the taste.

Making this tonight as it happens...


500g Good Quality Minced Beef
6-8 Large Red Plum Tomatoes roughly chopped with the skin removed
2 large White Onions diced
4 Cloves of Garlic sliced razor thin
3-4 Grated Carrots
1/2 Grated Celeriac
Basil...because I love it
Salt and Pepper seasoning

Using egg pasta sort of like a tagliatelle as it's all I've got in but it'll do the job.
Planning - Not for a long while

Fermenting - I'm Done

Bottle Maturing - Hobgoblin, Fullers ESB, American Stout, TOP, Fullers London Porter, Bandini Black IPA

Drinking - Still...Whiskey

Fresh plum tomatoes are nice but they take longer to cook.

I say, make loads of what Spag you like and the next day add chilli, pinto and kidney beans re-heat ( burn it up a bit bring out the flavor)and have it with rice.


Presto, Tex Mex

with a beer of your choice or Cider, Cider is cool as it cuts through the fat. :D :D :D :D :D

The most annoying food IMHO is the garden pea. Now getting that to stay on your fork is tricky!
I eat my peas with honey
I've done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife

A decent tablespoon of cocoa powder does wonders for both spag bol but even better in a chilli.

EDIT: Wow... just realised i resurrected an extremely dead topic...... sorry

Good idea, but I'd probably add cumin and thyme. I think they're essential in a chilli.
