Chilli con carne with grated dark chocolate

Champagne, 20 July, 2008 at 18:11 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 9

Cooking in progress at the moment, just added the kidney beans with 1/2 hour to go.

When do I add the grated dark chocolate, please?

    I think now. IIRC you have to let it cook a bit.

    I always chuck a square or two in at the start, usually Lindt 99% cocoa.

    For the 'proper' effect you really need cocoa mass.... But I'd put it in with just enoough time to let it melt (about the same time as I add my leaf coriander).

    Try a bit of fresh grounf coffee too, but put it in early.

    Coffee?! I've tried chocolate but never heard of coffee being added. Does it give a distinct coffee taste or is not so noticable, like the chocolate?

    You don't taste 'coffee' but you know it's there.

    Hmmm, I'm still not convinced ? Mind you, it took me a while to get my head around the chocolate idea, and now I don't do without it.
