Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 500 grams Lean ground beef
- 1 medium Brown onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Zucchini, diced
- 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes, no added salt
- 400 grams Cannellini beans (or black beans), drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste, no added sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 250 milliliters Low-sodium beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick saucepan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the lean ground beef. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5–7 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the pan, and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground paprika, dried oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and low-sodium beef stock. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer the chili for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 20 minutes, add the drained and rinsed cannellini beans, stir, and simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt or chili powder.
Serve the Chilli Con Carne in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Optionally, accompany with a salad or a small portion of brown rice if not strictly following the diet plan.
