• Meanwhile, for the chilli, put the remaining oil into a casserole dish and fry the onion and pepper for 5 mins. Add Cajun spice, pulses, tomatoes and stock. Cover and simmer for 15-20 mins. Remove casserole from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted. Ladle the chilli into bowls, top each with 1 tbsp soured cream and serve with the wedges.

MIXED BEAN CHILI FROM BONNIE STERN

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in large pot or dutch oven. Add onions and garlic and cook gently for 5 minutes until tender and fragrant. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink over medium heat. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika and oregano. Cook for about 30 seconds until well combined. Stir in tomatoes, chipotles and adobo sauce. Cook for 10 minutes. 2. Drain and rinse beans and add to sauce mixture. Add water if necessary. 3. Cook, covered, for 1 to 2 hours, until beans are tender and mixture is quite thick. Uncover if necessary to reduce liquid. Add pepper, salt and cilantro. Season to taste. (This is assuming you used dried beans. 1 hour is probably long enough, but I usually cook it longer. You can also add more of the spices I think.)
