Cooking Method

Method

  • 1
    Heat the oil in a large sauté pan or casserole dish over a high heat. Add the beef mince and fry for about 10 minutes, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon. Continue to fry, stirring every now and then so the mince is evenly browned.
  • 2
    Turn the heat down slightly and add the onion. Fry for 7-8 minutes until softened but not coloured.
  • 3
    Add the red peppers and continue to fry for 3 minutes. Add the garlic cloves, tomato puree, and spices and stir for a couple of minutes until the spices smell fragrant.
  • 4
    Turn the heat up and add the red wine, reducing the liquid until almost none remains and the alcohol has burned off.
  • 5
    Add the beef stock, dark chocolate, coffee, chopped tomatoes and kidney beans. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • 6
    Simmer very gently with the lid off for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan and until the liquid has reduced. If it reduces too much turn the heat down, add a splash of water and keep the lid on. Alternatively, place in a slow cooker on low for at least one hour, stirring occasionally.
  • 7
    Season to taste then serve with sides of your choice such as brown or white rice, tortilla chips, sour cream, grated cheese and coriander.
