For the slow cook
- 750 g Lean beef mince
- 1 Onion Peeled and chopped
- 800 g Chopped tomatoes (2x 400g tins)
- 800 g Kidney beans (2x 400g tins) Drained and rinsed
- 75 g Tomato puree
- 2 Beef stock cubes
- 3 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 4 tsp Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- 25 g Dark chocolate 70% cocoa type
Before serving
- 2 Green peppers Cut into medium-sized chunks
Mince: Try and use the low fat (5%) option if you can. This will the finished dish being too fatty, as none will be cooking off like it might in a pan
Onions and garlic: I like to use pre chopped, frozen to save time where I can
Stock cubes: No need to add any additional liquid, just the cubes themselves
Peppers: I use green peppers but any colour is fine. You can also use frozen peppers. Remember to add these in about 30 minutes before the end of cooking
