Beef Chilli
Ingredients
- 500g lean minced beef
- 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped with seeds removed
- 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and cut finely
- Chillies according to one’s taste
- Everyone has a different opinion here… I change it up all the time,
using different amounts and varieties of chilli peppers
- Tin of kidney beans or mixed beans, drained and rinsed
- Alternatively, use dried beans previously prepared according to the
guidelines
- Tin of chopped tomatoes
- Fresh tomatoes are fine too, but the tinned variety come in a nice
juicy sauce that works wonders for this dish
- Dollop of tomato puree
- Cumin to add a hint of fragrant sweetness
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
Directions
- Heat a little olive oil an a large saucepan or wok
- Put in the onion and red pepper, and cook until they begin to
soften
- Add the meat and fry, turning occasionally, until browned all
over
- Add the chillies and garlic and mix well and season with cumin and a
small amount of salt and pepper
- Add the beans, tomatoes, and tomato puree and mix well
- Cover and bring to the boil, then allow to simmer for at least an
hour, stirring occasionally
- Serve with pasta or baked potatoes, or as a filling for tacos
