PARTY CHILLI

-

Serves 12 EASY GREAT VALUE Preparatio­n: 10 minutes Cooking: 40 minutes

olive oil 5–6 T onions 5, chopped garlic 10–14 cloves, finely chopped pork mince 500 g beef mince 1 kg (or you can use only pork, or only beef, whichever you prefer, it’s your party, your chilli, you can do whatever you like) smoked paprika 2 T (I used the sweet Spanish one) chipotle seasoning 2T smoked chilli flakes 1–2 T ground cumin 4T ground coriander 4T brown sugar 1T tomato purée 3 x 410 g cans black beans 4 x 400 g cans, drained and rinsed beef stock 2 cups sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 Heat the oil in a large pot, add the onions and garlic and allow to sweat and soften. Add the mince and fry until browned. Add the spices and fry for 2 minutes. 2 Add the sugar, tomato purée and stock and allow to simmer and reduce for 25 minutes. Lastly add the black beans, salt and pepper and simmer over a reduced heat for 5 minutes. TO SERVE Haul out all the fancy sauces you can’t resist buying but seldom use, like the Tabasco chipotle pepper sauce and the Clarke’s Kitchen chipotle chilli sauce and (carefully!) chop fresh hot habanero chillies to allow your guests to add more heat if they want to. Put out bowls of grated cheese, sour cream, chopped coriander, good guacamole and a large bowl of my favourite mielie, fresh mint, lime, basil and feta salad (find the recipe at taste.co.za). Lastly, heat up corn taco shells and burritos, or throw a few bags of nachos into the mix, and you’ll have yourselves a fine fiesta. HEALTH-CONSCIOUS
