Chilli Con Nobody

1. 1

   1 Fill the bottom of a deep sided frying pan with enough sunflower oil to cover the bottom and then just a little more. Heat at about 8 and when it starts to smoke turn down to 6. Add the onions, garlic, a heaped teaspoon of chilli flakes and 8 green caradom pods. Stir frequently with a flat wooden spoon for 5 mins.

   3 Sieve the clean the beans under cold water and add to dish with the sweetcorn, peas/carrots and the tomatoe. Add just a tiny amount of water (1/4 of a mug) as the veg will give much moisture as they heat. Turn up the heat again to 5-6 with the idea to gently simmer for 10 minutes stirring frequently.

   4 If rice is required start now. Take out the tom,s from the can (keep juice) and cut into thirds. Place in pan with only half the juice (keep the rest) as all the juice would be too tomatoey. You can taste and add more juice later if desired. Cook for a final 11 minutes stirring frequently and keeping a gentle simmer. Add water only after all the dish as become very hot (only way to know the true consistency). Add more chilli powder or other spices as req,d but don't slate me if you have changed the recipe too much .
