Ingredients
500 g lean beef or lamb mince
2 medium onions, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
2 small red chillies, chopped
5 - 10 ml cayenne pepper or to taste
50 ml paprika
10 ml ground cumin
1 cup (250 ml) chicken or vegetable stock
1 tin (410 g) chopped tomatoes
30 ml tomato paste
15 ml dried origanum
10 ml sugar
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1 tin (410 g) red kidney beans, drained
Method
- Heat an AMC 24 cm Gourmet Dome Fry Pan over a medium temperature until the VisiothermⓇ reaches the first red area. Add mince and brown while breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Once brown, spoon out and set aside.
- Add onions and sauté for a few minutes. Add garlic and red pepper and sauté until almost tender. Add chillies and spices and sauté further.
- Return mince to cookware with stock, tomatoes, paste, origanum and sugar. Mix well, cover and allow VisiothermⓇ to reach the first red area again. Reduce heat to the lowest setting.
- Gently simmer mixture for 20 minutes. VisiothermⓇ should stay between the 12 -2 o’ clock position, in the optimal cooking area.
- Season to taste and add beans. Cover with the lid and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Serve on rice, mash or baked potatoes. Alternatively spoon the mixture into warm wraps with lettuce, chopped tomatoes and avocado. Drizzle with sour cream or plain yoghurt and fold.
Variations:
- For a vegetarian option, substitute mince with aubergine cubes and mushrooms. Simmer for a short period until aubergines are just cooked.
- Spoon mixture onto a bed of nachos and sprinkle with grated Cheddar cheese. Serve immediately or place under a preheated grill to melt cheese.
