Enjoy a one-pot wonder packed with flavour
With a few fresh accompaniments, chilli con carne easily transforms from a winter warmer to a summer staple.
Chilli con carne may be a winter favourite, but it’s surprisingly versatile and can be a hit in summer too! Serve it up with lighter, fresh sides to give it a warm-weather twist. Try pairing it with a crisp salad, or spoon it over a bed of fluffy rice and top with fresh avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of lime juice. You could even use it as a filling for tacos or burritos, adding shredded lettuce and a dollop of cooling sour cream. Recipe compliments of Harvestime.
