Ingredients
- 800g Diced Beef
- 2 Red Onions
- 4 Garlic Cloves
- 2 tsp Ground Cumin
- 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 tsp Chilli Flakes
- 400g Chopped Tomatoes
- 600ml Beef Stock
- 1 Red Pepper
- 2 tbsp Tomato Purée
- 70g Dark Chocolate
- 240g Drained Cooked Kidney Beans
- 25g Coriander
- Sour Cream
Method
- Heat olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan over a medium heat, then brown off the beef in two batches on all sides. Then remove from the pan. Finely slice the onions and add ½ to the pan with another glug of olive oil – cook for 5 mins, until starting to soften. In the meantime, finely slice the garlic and dice the red pepper into 2cm pieces.
- Add garlic and peppers to the pan and cook for 2 min, then along with the cumin and smoked paprika, chilli flakes and tomato purée. Cook for 1-2 min, then pour in the chopped tomatoes, beef stock and drained and rinsed kidney beans. Add the beef back in, give it a stir and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 3-3.5 hours or until the beef is falling apart and tender. Once cooked, give it a good mix and it will start to break up.
- Grate the chocolate into the chilli, mixing well. Roughly chop the coriander. Serve the chilli in bowls topped with sour cream, the remaining onion, coriander and some chilli flakes.
