Ingredients

  • 150 grams smoked bacon lardons
  • 1 onion
  • 750 grams beef mince
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chipotle chilli flakes
  • 1 large handful of fresh coriander
  • 100 ml red wine
  • 500 grams passata
  • 1 beef stock cube
  • 1 red pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
  • Put a large, heavy bottomed oven safe pot (with a lid) on a medium heat. Add the lardons and cook until they are starting to turn golden.
  • Peel and slice the onion, then add to the lardons. Cook for another 5 minutes until beginning to soften (make sure they don’t colour - turn down the heat if you need to).
  • Add the mince to the pot. Fry until it has turned brown.
  • Add your spices - cinnamon, smoked paprika and chipotle chilli flakes - and approx half a teaspoon of salt. Stir.
  • Slice the coriander stalks (save the leaves for later) and add to the pot.
  • Pour in the red wine. Cook for a few minutes until it has reduced down.
  • Add the passata and stock cubes, plus about 250ml of water. You want it to be quite saucy (it can always be reduced down later).
  • Bring to a simmer, then put the lid on the pot and put it in the oven. Leave it to cook for 3 1/2 hours, taking it out to stir every hour. Make sure the bottom doesn’t catch - add a little more water if you need to.
  • Remove from the oven and put back on the hob on a low heat. Add the chopped red pepper and most of the coriander leaves, stir well and allow to cook for 5 minutes. If your chilli is too liquidy at this point, leave it on the hob for longer until it has reduced down.
  • Serve with white rice and top with the remaining coriander leaves, along with any other toppings you fancy - soured cream, guacamole, jalapeños, grated cheese. Yum!
