Serves 2
A delicious scaled down version of an old favourite which feeds two people generously!
1 TBS vegetable oil
1 small brown onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 each red and yellow (or green) bell pepper, chopped
2 TBS mild chili powder
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp crushed chilies
(or to taste)
1/4 tsp dried oregano
pinch cayenne pepper
salt and black pepper to taste
340g extra lean ground beef, crumbled (12 ounces)
1 (400g) tin chopped tomatoes in tomato juice, undrained (14.5 ounce tin)
1 (400g) tin of kidney beans, drained and rinsed (14.5 ounce tin)
200g pack of tomato passata (8 ounces) (tomato sauce)
60ml water (1/4 cup) if needed
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the onion, peppers, garlic, spices and herbs. Cook, stirring over medium low heat for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables have softened and the whole mixture is very fragrant. Crumble in the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is no longer pink and is beginning to brown. Add the chopped tomatoes, along with their juice, drained beans, tomato passata and water if needed. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minutes. If it begins to catch on the bottom, you can add a bit of water. Continue to cook for a futher 15 minutes until the meat it completely tender and the chili is nicely thickened. Adjust seasoning as necessary and serve, spooned into hot bowls with some grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
