+
+This recipe is for those who like their food a little spicy. A classic of
+Tex-Mex cuisine, although its true origins are disputed.<!-- more -->[^1]
+
+## Ingredients
+
+Here are the ingredients for 2-4 adult portions, depending on your appetite:
+
+* 400g ground beef
+* 400g can of pre-cooked beans
+* 1 onion
+* 3-4 garlic cloves
+* 10-12 spoonfuls tomato paste
+* ~150ml water
+* Whole black peppercorns, or even better, allspice[^2]
+* Chili powder[^3]
+* Cumin[^2]
+* Oregano[^2]
+* Salt[^2]
+* Cooking oil (preferably olive oil)
+* 3-4 Basil leaves (optional)
+* Cilantro (optional)
+* Worcestershire sauce (optional)[^2]
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Add oil to a deep frying pan, or a sauce pan, and heat to medium heat.
+2. Chop the onions and add them to the heated pan.
+3. After frying the onions for a bit, add the ground beef and fry it until it is
+   well-done; salt the beef to taste.
+4. Just before the beef is done, mince or grate the garlic cloves and add it to
+   the pan.
+5. Add the water, beans and tomato paste and mix.
+6. Add chili powder, oregano, cumin, allspice/peppercorns and a little bit more
+   salt to the pan and mix thoroughly; also add the basil leaves and
+   Worcestershire sauce if you want to add a little more flavor.
+7. Once the mix is boiling, cover the pan, and stew at low heat for about 45-60
+   minutes.
+8. Once the chili is quite thick (but not too dry!), it should be done; or maybe
+   you prefer it a little bit more soup-y.
+9. You can also add some freshly chopped cilantro on top to add even more
+   flavor.
+
+## How to eat
+
+So, this might be strange, to tell somebody how to eat some food, but I gather
+there's multitude different ways to eat chili. The most obvious one, is to just
+eat it as it is with a spoon, or maybe with some totopos. I, however, like to
+make some burritos stuffed with the stuff, together with some grated cheese and
+jalapeños. 
+
+There's of course other dishes, like hot dogs with chili (a.k.a chilidogs),
+sandwiches with chili, hamburgers with chili; you get the idea.
