Comments on: Beef and Two Bean Chilli http://dinnerdiary.org/2009/02/02/beef-and-two-bean-chilli/ A (photo) diary of our dinners Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:52:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Ros http://dinnerdiary.org/2009/02/02/beef-and-two-bean-chilli/comment-page-1/#comment-5797 Ros Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:33:38 +0000 http://dinnerdiary.org/?p=2149#comment-5797 It's funny how as soon as it gets really, properly cold that you don't only want dishes with temperature heat but spice heat. I went to spend the day with Andy when school got cancelled yesterday and by the time I got home I was in need of a highly spiced balti curry, which fortunately was also do-able from storecupboard alone. I see you've gone for Cincinatti chilli style spicing this time. I also prefer this at this time of year but when it is warmer I suddenly drop the chocolate and cinammon and switch to more red-pepper, coriander leaf and jalapeno flavourings with loads of tabasco. I love the versatility of chilli. I second the zinfandel suggestion. <abbr><em>Ros’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.roshani.co.uk/livingtoeat/index.php/2009/02/02/a-first-time-for-everything/" rel="nofollow">A First Time For Everything</a></abbr></em> It’s funny how as soon as it gets really, properly cold that you don’t only want dishes with temperature heat but spice heat.

Happy Cook - we got the seasoning spot on this time, good background heat but not too hot that you couldn't taste all the other spices. Hope you like it! You’re right Sylvie!

It looks extrememly good. Wine-wise, could I suggest trying a good quality Zinfandel? I think they work well with red-meat based spicy food. Lots of ripe fruit, not too much tannin (which clashes horribly with spice) and and a good spicyness that is mirrored in the dish. Just a thought for next time - might work, might not! <abbr><em>Antonia’s last blog post..<a href="http://foodgloriousfood-toto.blogspot.com/2009/02/rhubarb-and-marzipan-cake.html" rel="nofollow">Rhubarb and marzipan cake</a></abbr></em> What perfect food for a chilly (…sorry, couldn’t resist…) day.
