A brilliant winter warmer – just leave it to bubble away on the hob for the flavours to develop. The cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the chilli.

Extra lean beef mince (5% fat), raw

500 g

Onion(s)

Chilli Powder

1 tablespoons, level, mild

Instructions

  1. Mist a large nonstick pan with cooking spray and put over a medium heat, then add the mince and onion. Cook for 5 minutes, until the beef is brown all over.
  2. Add the garlic, chilli powder and cumin and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle over the flour and stir well.
  3. Add the stock, tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato purée, cocoa powder, oregano and bay leaf. Stir well and season to taste. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover partially with a lid. Leave to cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to pack instructions, and cook the corn cobettes in a pan of simmering water for 5 minutes, or until just tender.
  5. Serve the chilli con carne with the rice and corn, garnished with the chopped coriander.

Notes

Want it spicier? Swap the mild chilli powder for 2 teaspoons of hot chilli powder. The chilli can be frozen without the rice in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
