Ingredients

1 pound Lean minced beef
4 ounces Good-quality cooking chorizo
1 Onion, pureed or finely diced
1 Celery, pureed or finely diced
1 Carrot, chopped
1 Red Pepper, chopped
2 Cloves of garlic, minced
2 Red chillis (deseeded to taste)
2 teaspoons Ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, oregano & chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon Cocoa powder
6 Cardamon pods (shells removed)
2 tablespoons Sweet chilli sauce
2 tablespoons Tomato puree
1 tablespoon Worcester sauce
1 tablespoon Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt or half of pouring salt
20 ounces Canned tomatoes
14 ounces Can of kidney beans in chilli sauce
1 shot Instant espresso or very strong coffee

Directions

1

In a large lunch lady style pot, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and fry the chorizo and red chillis on a medium heat for about 5 minutes until chorizo starts to give off its orange paprika oil.
2

Next add the onion, celery and garlic mush (this is most easily achieved using a food processor), along with a pinch of salt, and saute for a further 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
3

Add the carrots and red pepper to the pot and cook for a further 5 minutes.
4

Meanwhile, mix together the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, chilli powder, oregano, cocoa powder, cardamon seeds, brown sugar, salt and a good grinding of black pepper in a small bowl.
5

Turning the heat up slightly, add the minced beef to the pot along with the bowl of spices and, using a wooden spoon, begin to break down the beef and cook for a further 5 minutes until the beef is evenly browned.
6

Add the tomato puree, worcester sauce and sweet chilli sauce along with the canned tomatoes and red kidney beans and give everything a big stir to combine.
7

Bring everything to a boil and turn the heat right down to the lowest setting.
8

Clamp on a lid and leave to simmer for at least a half hour, stirring occasionally.
9

Serve with a generous grating of red cheddar, sour cream and chopped coriander along with softly toasted white bread baps, tortilla chips, rice or potatoes, or simply just as it is with a bowl and a spoon for instant comfort.
