Chili Chili Bang Bang (Paleo/Primal)



So, I've been trying out a lot of different chili recipes and this last one I made was a hand written recipe from my mother in law - I have no idea where she got it - but it rocks! Funny thing is - I told the kids we were having chili and they came up with chili chili bang bang - yeah, so we've been watching some old movies and I like the name - just sticks - and they were even singing the little ditty to the chili chili bang bang. Kids are so funny.


Here is the recipe - which I will most likely share with my brother because he hates onions - and there are no onions in this recipe and because it's primal (paleo) there are no beans in it either! 


I also like it because it's not your typical chili recipe. There is no cumin in it and it sort of tastes smokey from the smoked bacon in the recipe - and it also sort of tastes like shoarma meat - maybe from the other spices. 


So, if you are kind of tired of the same old chili and you want to try something different - give this one a go. Or you could even use it in a taco.


I served mine with fried plantains - and it was also very yummy paired with spiced sour cream. Loved it. The leftovers where even yummier - the next day - chili is always the bomb the next day.






Chili Chili Bang Bang
Serves at least 4
This recipe is translated from Dutch, so bear with me ;)


250 grams smoked pork belly, cut in pieces OR 250 grams smoked bacon, cut in pieces.
450-500 grams ground beef/pork mixture
2 small cans tomato puree (but you can add more if you like more saucy)
2 teaspoons sambal
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
1 red bell pepper, diced fine


Fry up the bacon/pork belly about 10 minutes. Add in the ground beef, tomato puree, spices and bell pepper. Cook everything until meat is cooked through and let it simmer until bell pepper soft.

He he! Yeah our littlies love watching "the flying car movie" too. Ok, I've eaten a few different chili recipes, and your version certainly is different, so now I am eager to give it a try.  ◕‿◕

The cook book for your toddler - Het kookboek voor je peuter

Image
So, I've been going through this little cook book I got from the baby clinic - the book is made by Kinderen - it's a monthly magazine for mothers and expecting mothers - and it's a great little book. see bol.com Here are just a few of the recipes I've tried: Pippi's pannenkoekentaart That was good - I gave it a 4 star **** - easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. Dessert for dinner is good anytime :) I put sliced apples in almost every pancake - which is why it leans so much. It was very filling - and very yummy. Up next: Een echt indiaantje Good 4 stars **** - another easy meal, presented in such a way that the kids got excited... Kailea, my 5 year old, is normally very picky about green food - she ate it up :) We served it with simple gravy. Ella - liked the patty, but tossed the sugar snaps aside - oh well, can't please everyone - but I try. Kailea poses for me. Dad's angry man... even big kids play with their food ! And..

Double Dipped Stroopwafels (Syrup Waffles)

Image
  I couldn't think of a better way to use an old egg carton then to have it hold yummy delicious double dipped stroopwafels. The idea is not really so new. Just a few months ago I saw Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen do the same thing with graham crackers for a quick holiday treat. The stroopwafel is not really equavalent to a graham cracker though... it is so much better. It's really one of the best cookies to come out of the Netherlands. You can find them everywhere here. Every grocery store carries them in many different price ranges. And there is a difference. That "E" brand that is really cheap - really sucks . The brand from the Lidl is a great price and one of the best tasting ones I've found. They have them made with real butter or with glucose-syrup. I personally like the real butter caramel flavored ones. Yum-yum. A stroopwafel is simply translated as syrup waffle. It's a thin waffle like cookie with syrup in the middle... much be

Belgian Day - Speculoos Hagel and Stoemp!

Image
You know what? Normally when I think of Belgium - I think of those cute little sea shell chocolates - those are so dang good. I always bring a few boxes of those when I go home to America. Everyone likes those a lot! You are instantly popular and everyone's best friend if you are carrying a box of those. But Belgium is also known for other things - like waffles and Brussels sprouts. And if they aren't known for Speculaas - they should be. Speculaas is a small spice cookie. It's very yummy and often served with coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Lotus is all over it; it's a name brand and they got it made with the Speculaas. Not only do they know how to make a great little cookie. They've turned it into a creamy sandwich spread... and now into a crunchy sandwich sprinkle. I love it. It's brilliant. And you know what - it would work great as any cake or cupcake topper. Forget those disco sprinkles - Lotus Speculoos Hagel is it!   Luckily for living here, I don
