  • 500 g beef mince
  • 2 t ground cumin
  • ½ t smoked paprika
  • 1 t ground coriander
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ a red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • ½ a red pepper, diced

  • 125 ml chicken stock

Method

Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat.

Pan-fry the mince until brown. Add the cumin, smoked paprika, coriander and season to taste.

Add the onion, garlic, red pepper and chilli to the pan.

Simmer for 15 minutes – if the mixture is too dry, add the chicken stock.
