Chili (serves 2 persones)

4 slices bacon, chopped

250g beef stew meat

1 large onion, roughly chopped

4 gloves garlic, minced

500g canned whole tomatoes

1 can white beans, rinsed and drained

1 can red beans, rinsed and drained

1-2 chilis, halfed

1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

1 Tbsp. oregano, dried

salt & pepper

In a big pot with a gulp olive oil, cook bacon and beef over medium heat until the beef is nicely browned. Reduce heat and add onions and half of the garlic. Cook occasionally stirring until the onion is translucent. Now add the canned tomatoes, beans and chilis. Bring to boiling, then reduce heat to a simmer. After you covered the pot, you have to place yourself on your sofa with a glass of red wine in front of the tv and relax for an hour ;) - but don't forget to stir occasionally.

Then stir in the remaining garlic and add the vinegar. Cook covered for one hour. Check consistency (add water if it's to thick) and season to taste with salt, pepper and oregano.
