Beef chilli
Ingredients
40ml Vegetable oil
125g Diced onions
20g Crushed Garlic
4g Cracked Black Pepper
4g Sea Salt
8g Cumin Seeds
8g Coriander Seeds
6g Smoked Paprika
500g Diced Beef Chuck
225g Grated Carrots
225g Butternut Squash – Grated
150g Tinned Haricot Blanc
10g Red Chillies
100ml Red Wine
200ml Orange Juice
10g Thyme
40g Veg Bouillion
250ml Water
300g Chopped Tinned Tomatoes
Method:
Heat the veg oil and fry the onions, garlic & dry spices until the onions are softened.
Add the meat and increase the heat to fry good colour onto the beef and permeate with the spices.
Once you have fried the beef, reduce the heat to a medium temperature and add the grated carrot, squash, tinned haricot blanc & cook for 5 minutes until the veg starts to soften and coat the meat.
Add the chillies, red wine, orange juice, thyme, veg bouillon, water & tinned chopped tomatoes.
Cook slowly until the meat is tender and the sauce has reduced to a thick creamy consistency.
Note.
Adjust seasoning and spice levels to taste (you can even finish by melting in a couple of cubes of dark chocolate once removed from the heat to round the flavours off).
