Ingredients
- Kidney Bean: 410g can pinto or red kidney bean, drained
- Coriander: fresh coriander or parsley leaves and some grated gruyere, to serve
- Vegetable Oil: 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Beef: 500g lean minced beef
- Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- Onion: 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Dark Chocolate: 2 squares of dark chocolate (try Lindt 85%)
- Tomato: 400g cans chopped plum tomatoes
- Chilli: large pinch of crushed dried chillies
- Chicken Stock: 700ml/1 1/4 pints hot chicken stock
Directions
- Gently fry the onion and garlic in the oil for a couple of minutes until beginning to soften, then add the mince. Raise the heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the meat is no longer pink.
- Stir in the beans, tomatoes, stock, chillies, chocolate and plenty of salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer very gently for 1 hour, or longer if you have the time. (You can make it up to a day ahead to this point, then cool and chill.)
- Ladle into mugs or large cups and scatter with herbs, cheese and black pepper. You'll need spoons to eat it.
