I made a veg , chickpea and butterbean chilli yesterday using my usual method of putting in a bit of this and a bit of that:p . I added 2 cans of chopped tomatoes and a good squirt of tomato puree and would normally have added some sugar to take away the bitterness. As I was trying to make this syn free on SW I added granulated sweetener instead. The end result is way too sweet.
Is there anything else I can add to tart it up a bit (so to speak
) ?
I am not throwing it out as it was made for my lunches all week and I'll just have to eat it sweet if need be:eek:Must learn not to count chickens before they are hatched!!!!:D

I would think that malt vinegar would be fine. You'll only need about a wee spoonful won't you?Official DFW Nerd Club - Member # 593 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts!0

I did a chicken stock from our Sunday bird and it's turned out lovely - all nice and jelled when it's cold - but I would like to thicken it, without losing the wonderful flavour, into more of a sauce type thing to add to pasta for tomorrows dinner.
What do I do?

If you reduce the stock (ie simmer in a saucepan until some of the liquid is evaporated) this intensifies the flavour. Then you could add something like cream cheese to make a nice creamy sauce.2015 wins: Jan: Leeds Castle tickets; Feb: Kindle Fire, Years supply Ricola March: £50 Sports Direct voucher April: DSLR camera June: £500 Bingo July: £50 co-op voucher0 -

Simmer, uncovered, and the stock will reduce

Thanks, but is there a way to thicken without reducing much? I hope not to lose any 'amount' as would be doing 2 pasta dishes, one to freeze.0

You could thicken it like a sauce, using cornflour mixed to a paste with water.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member # 593 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts!0
