Warming Winter Chilli with Potato Wedges


Last week's new recipe of the week was this winter warming chilli! It was simple to make and delicious to eat! I really enjoyed this meal - it is perfect for a cold winters day! 

I would do the potato wedges first, get them in the oven and then start the chilli - then it will be ready in line with the wedges! This my first time cooking with chocolate in a savoury dish as well - you cannot taste the chocolate - don't panic - I think it is supposed to deepen the flavour of the chilli!
