Method

Fry the Onion in the Oil over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until starting to soften. Add the Mince & cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until starting to brown. TIP: To make sure the mince is broken up, rather than in lumps, use a potato masher.

Reduce the heat & add the Garlic, Spices, Peppers & Tomato Puree. Cook for 3-4 minutes and then add the tinned Tomatoes and Red Kidney Beans. Simmer for 30 minutes. Now, taste to check the seasoning. Add Salt & Pepper, & extra Chilli if required. 

Simmer for a further 20 minutes.
