Method

Ingredients

1. Drain the sorghum and beans, place in a saucepan and cover with the water or stock. Cook for 40 minutes, or until the beans are cooked. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid.

2. Heat the olive oil in a separate saucepan and fry the mince until cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and chilli.

3. Fry gently for 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and well caramelised. Add the garlic and spices and fry for 2 minutes, or until fragrant.

4. Add the tomatoes, sorghum, beans and their cooking liquid and stir until well combined. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the sauce is reduced and thick, stir once more. Serve topped with the crème fraîche, onion and cheese.

Cook's note: Soak the sorghum and beans overnight for quicker cooking the next day. Serve the chilli with warm crusty bread or your choice of starch.
