Chile con carne is a classic Mexican dish whereby every who ever cooked it ever has their own recipe that is better than any other in existence. The dish originates in the Aztec Empire, and was recorded in 1529 by the Franciscan friar, Bernardino de Sahagún. It took the Spanish to cement beef as the main protein, and the dish now has more variations than there are stars in the sky.
When I came to find a way to use up demo frozen turkey mince, I freestyled a very successful chilli con pavo, which is a superb, healthy alternative to the classic beef version. The beauty of this is its sheer simplicity.
