OK [[Chilli|chilli]] freaks, here's a chance to excel! In common with [[Chillies|chillies]], chilli gravy goes with just about anything.

It is great over any [[Barbecued|barbecued]] [[Meats|meats]] and [[Sausages|sausages]] and mandatory for [[Tex-Mex]] meals.

The beauty is that you can tailor the flavours to suit your tastes. It also freezes well in 'meal-sized' portions.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 3 tablespoons [[Olive oil|olive oil]] (or the less healthy [[Lard|lard]] option!)
| 2 big [[Garlic cloves, peeled and crushed|garlic cloves, peeled and crushed]].
| 1 medium [[Onion|onion]], peeled and sliced.
| 2 tablespoons [[Lardons|lardons]] (or [[Home smoked bacon|home smoked bacon]], chopped).
| Your own variety of [[Dried|dried]] [[Chillies|chillies]], powdered in a [[Coffee grinder|coffee grinder]]
| ¼ teaspoon [[Cumin seeds|cumin seeds]], [[Ground|ground]] in a [[Coffee grinder|coffee grinder]]
| ¼ teaspoon [[Dried|dried]] [[Oregano|oregano]]
| 2 cups water
| 2 cups [[Beef stock|beef stock]]
| 1 tablespoon [[Masa harina|masa harina]]
| [[Sea salt]] to taste
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Sauté the [[Onions|onions]], [[Garlic|garlic]] and [[Lardons|lardons]] on a medium heat in the [[Olive oil|olive oil]] until soft, about 7 minutes.
| Add the [[Herbs|herbs]] and [[Spice|spice]] and mix well.
| Add the liquids, just bring to the [[Boil|boil]] and immediately reduce to a [[Simmer|simmer]] and cook, uncovered for 30 minutes.
| Use a little of the [[Stock|stock]] to mix the [[Masa harina|masa harina]] to a paste and then add back into the stock, whisk well and [[Simmer|simmer]] for another 10 minutes.
| Taste and season with [[Salt|salt]] if required.
}}
===Variations===
Cheat, cheat, cheat!

I found half a pot of commercial [[Onion|onion]] [[Gravy|gravy]] in the [[Freezer|freezer]] which prompted this recipe. (I wanted something to liven up some [[Meatballs|meatballs]]).

If you are starting with a ready-made ([[Onion|onion]]) [[Gravy|gravy]], just omit the [[olive oil]], [[lardons]], [[Onions|onions]], [[Garlic|garlic]], [[Stock|stock]] and water.
===Chef's note===
Probably not at all authentic, but the juice of 1 [[lime]], 2 teaspoons of [[brown sugar]] and a tablespoon of [[tomato puree]] rounds this off nicely.
