A delicious, rich and spicy chilli con carne made from scratch, combining the perfect blend of herbs and spices including Cumin, Coriander, Oregano, Bay, Paprika and Chillies.

Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the onion, over a medium-heat, until softened. Stir in the Ground Cumin, Ground Coriander, Oregano and Bay Leaf. Cook for 1 minute to release the flavours.

Step 2

Add the beef mince and brown for about 4-5 minutes. Drain excess oil if necessary. Add the Paprika, tomato purée and Crushed Chillies.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, beef stock and kidney beans. Turn up the heat for 1 minute, then reduce the heat and simmer for around 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the mince is cooked. Season to taste.

Step 4

Stir in the chocolate and gently heat through, ensuring that sauce does not boil. Finally, stir in the Coriander Leaf and serve.

Step 5

Delicious served with rice and green salad.
