Smokey Chilli
In the late 1800s, the chilli queens of San Antonio created chilli con carne. They entertained the plaza and supported their families in a time when women weren't supposed to. Hopefully this recipe can inspire you to also do something that isn't supposed to be: a delicious chilli sin carne. The secret ingredient is coffee! You won’t taste it at the end, but it is an essential ingredient to get the ‘smokey’ taste.

I assume by cooking instruction that this two cans of black beans?
and is the aquafaba drained off?
Usually approximately 240g drained beans per can so drained weight total approx.480g?
Hi Libby! Yes, that’s correct. The aquafaba is indeed drained off. I will improve that in the instructions 🙂
Vandaag voor het eerst gemaakt, erg lekker! Was benieuwd omdat ik zelf geen koffie drinken maar zorgde juist voor een goede smaak. Aanrader

Yes, loved this one! Actually, this is one I enjoyed the most as it is also fairly low in carbs! That’s super great!
So good! The coffee is a great addition and flavour is spot on
Dit is echt de lekkerste chilli ooit! Echt een favoriet bij ons, veel houdbare ingrediënten dus gemakkelijk in huis en zelfs veel lekkerder dan de meeste chili’s met vlees…
