How to say Dr Oetker

Unless, you are a native German, it is very likely that even if you are familiar with one of the products that you may be unsure as to how you actually pronounce Dr Oetker. Oetker is a common surname in Germany, but in the UK and Ireland it is fair to say there are not many Oetkers listed in the local phone directory.
It really is quite easy to say - it is pronounced Dr Urtker. Simply substituting the UR for the OE makes it easy to say.

How to make Chilli con Carne

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan and fry the onion garlic and chilli until softened.

• Increase the heat and add the mince, chilli powder, cumin, and ground coriander, cook quickly until browned and break down any chunks of meat with a wooden spoon.

• Stir in the tinned tomatoes, tomato purée, and stock.

• Season well with salt and pepper.

• Bring to a simmer, half cover with a lid and cook over a gentle heat for about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture is rich and thickened.

• Add the kidney beans and fresh coriander. Cook for a further 10 minutes, uncovered, before removing from the heat, adding any extra seasoning if necessary.

• This is ideal served with dollops of Onken Greek yogurt, lime wedges and also rice, crusty bread or jacket potatoes and a big green salad.

Cooks Tip:

The chilli is much tastier a day or two after it's cooked as the flavours develop and the texture becomes richer. Simply leave to cool, place in the fridge and gently heat before serving. If you're eating the chilli on the day you prepared it, any leftovers can be frozen in individual portions in well-sealed sandwich bags, and then reheated by boiling from frozen in a saucepan of water for about 15 - 20 minutes until steaming hot.
