- Brown the mince in a large pan. Add onion, red pepper, garlic and half of the chillies. Cook for a further two minutes before adding the beef stock and tins of tomatoes. Add the cumin and chilli powder.
- Simmer slowly on a low heat, the liquid will reduce and the chilli will become thick and a deep red in colour. Usually can take between 30 minutes to an hour depending on your stove.
- Your chilli should be nearly ready. Add the rest of your chillies, and the tin of kidney beans. Cook on a low heat for a further 10 minutes. At this stage try your chilli. You may want to add some black pepper and/or extra chilli powder to taste.
- Once satisfied, your chilli is ready. Take off the heat and add fresh coriander. I usually use a good handful.
Tip
Fresh coriander is a must. It adds a lovely fresh taste to the chilli and makes it stand out from other basic recipes.
