Ask around in Texas and they’ll tell you that a true chili con carne is true to its name: it’s all about the meat, with nary a bean to be seen. Simmered ground beef, poblano and squash gets a dash of BBQ sauce and a dollop of avocado purée.

Preparation
Mise en place
- Halve, core and medium-dice the poblano.
Start the chili
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the beef and squash; season with S&P.
- Cook, breaking up the meat, 2 to 3 min., until lightly browned.
- Add the onions and poblano (add ¼ or ½ for medium spicy). Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until fragrant and the beef* is cooked through.
Finish the chili
- To the pan, add the tomato paste and cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until dark red.
- Add the BBQ sauce, demi-glace, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 min., until thickened.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add up to ½ cup water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the chili between your bowls.
- Garnish with the avocado purée. Bon appétit!
