Dark Chocolate Brisket Chilli Con Carne

The brisket becomes soft and pull-apart tender in a smoky tomato-based chilli sauce, with butter beans stirred through for creaminess and dark chocolate added at the end for richness, depth and gloss. We also add liver powder right at the end, which disappears into the rich sauce but adds a beautiful boost of nutrient density. It’s savoury, smoky, cosy and so satisfying, the kind of meal I love for foggy, tired-brain days when you need something grounding and properly nourishing, that can also be meal prepped and eaten for days after.
