I remember when I cooked chili con carne for the very first time. It was many years back, and it was so very easy! I fried some beef and then ... I opened a pack of flavoring mix! I added it to the meat along with tomatoes, a splash of water and red kidney beans and done! Yes, even though I am embarrassed to confess to it currently, I have to confess that I used a shop-bought mix to make that meal in the past. Yet there is something a lot more embarrassing. When that prepared to prepare package wasn't readily available any longer, I quit preparing chili con carne. Why? I reflected then that making it from scratch was too difficult and that I would certainly never achieve the exact same taste.
When I lastly got my courage as well as a excellent dish, also! I recognized that thanks to cooking it myself, I knew just what was in it. And also it tasted probably also far better than the one I used to make. No surprise then that it quickly turned into one of my family's favorite meals.
However, when my daughter chose to end up being vegetarian, I recognized I had to face an additional difficulty. I had to cook a dish that is based on meat but without the meat. And clearly, I had to make it taste like a real thing.
