It is really interesting: a label printer manufacturer is trying to plow its way across Europe, plus win over our employees via a headhunter. When the results came back negative we suddenly received an offer: "Would Jarltech like to become our distributor?" No, we wouldn't.

Traditionally at our "Networking Dinners" at the Mantis in Frankfurt we serve chili con carne at midnight. Over time we have been asked more and more what the secret is that makes it so tasty. The house chef was kind enough to share his recipe with us:

Sam's Chili con carne

250 grams onions, cubed 3 garlic cloves 1 Thai chili pepper, browned in olive oil Add to these ingredients 1 kilogram of ground beef and spice to taste with salt, pepper, cumin seed and a bunch of chopped coriander. Deglaze with 250 millilitres of red wine. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 250 grams of finely chopped root vegetables. Puree 1.2 litres of peeled tomatoes with some coriander and half of a Jalapeno chili pepper. Add this to the meat and let it simmer. Now add 700 grams of kidney beans and 300 grams of corn. Re-check the spices and add salt, pepper and cumin seed as needed. If you wish, add a little beef broth and dried chili peppers.

Enjoy! See you again in Frankfurt!
