Here's one I made earlier.

• 3 onions (chopped)
• a bulb of garlic (yes a whole bulb, chopped)
• a lump of butter
• a couple of tablespoons of hot chilli powder
• a couple of red chilli peppers (de-seeded and chopped)
• salt & pepper
• 1kg of minced beef
• a jar of sun-dried tomatoes
• 4 tins of tomatoes
• 4 tins of red kidney beans

sweat off the onion and the garlic in in the butter and a bit of the oil from the sun dried tomatoes.

add the chilli powder and the chilli peppers

when it's all gone soft and sticky, add the beef

stick the sun dried tomatoes in a blender and turn them into a paste, they deserve it. Tomatoes are evil, bad, bad tomatoes

add the tomato paste and the tinned tomatoes (use whole tinned tomatoes but don't break them up until they are cooked, if you do, it makes the sauce bitter)

simmer this for about 45 minutes

add the kidney beans, simmer for another 30 minutes

leave it for a day

bag it, freeze it

meals sorted for about 4 weeks

it's good

try it

Add a teaspoon of cumin and a square of 80% or more chocolate - perfection :)

At what point do you add the chocolate?
