I remember when I prepared chilli con carne for the very first time. It was years earlier, as well as it was so very easy! I fried some beef and afterwards ... I opened a pack of seasoning mix! I added it to the meat along with tomatoes, a splash of water as well as red kidney beans and done! Yes, although I am ashamed to admit to it now, I need to admit that I made use of a shop-bought mix to make that dish in the past. Yet there is something even more awkward. When that ready to prepare packet wasn't readily available any longer, I stopped preparing chilli con carne. Why? I thought back then that making it from square one was also complicated and that I would never ever achieve the same taste.
When I ultimately got my guts and a fantastic dish, as well! I realized that thanks to cooking it myself, I knew just what was in it. And it tasted most likely even much better than the one I used to make. No wonder then that it soon turned into one of my family's much-loved meals.
Nonetheless, when my daughter made a decision to become vegan, I knew I had to face an additional difficulty. I had to cook a meal that is based on meat but without the meat. And also undoubtedly, I needed to make it taste like a real thing.
