  • 500g pork mince
  • 500g beef mince
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp chilli powder
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 2 x tins peeled plum tomatoes

Crumble your mince together and then pop in a pan on medium-high heat until it goes golden brown. Set aside.

Dice up your pepper and onion into small chunks and gently fry on medium heat with a pinch of salt to help them soften rather than crisp – about 10-15 minutes. Once translucent and soft add your spices and cook for 2 minutes to release the fragrances. Add back the mince and give it a really good stir.

Add 500ml beef stock and your plum tomatoes, giving them a mash with the spoon. I use peeled plum tomatoes rather than chopped tomatoes as they have much more flavour to them and are less watery.

Cook on low heat for 1 hour, or until reduced to a thick chilli sauce. Add your kidney beans and cook for a final 15 minutes before serving with rice, sour cream and cheese! YUM.
