Steps:

• Brown mince in small batches and if there is any, drain liquid into cup each time. Put cup in fridge and when fat is solidified, spoon off and reserve mince juices.
• Gently fry the cumin, corriander and chilli powder in oil for a couple of minutes then add tomato puree and cook out for a few minutes.
• Add onion, celery, carrot and garlic and sweat with lid on for 10 mins. Add browned mince and stir through. Add wine and reduce. Add tomatoes, milk, Marmite, mince juices, herbs, ketchup and lea and perrins. Simmer slowly for about 2/3 hours (taking lid of last 30 mins to reduce).
• After 2/3 hours of gentle simmering, the finished mince should have little liquid. Season well with salt and pepper.

CHILLI MARRAKECH

Steps:

• Heat your largest non-stick wok or pan, tip in the cumin seeds and toast for a few secs. Remove. Add the oil to the pan and fry the onions for 5 mins until starting to colour. Add the mince, ginger and garlic, and cook, breaking up the mince with your wooden spoon, until no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid or fat from the pan.
• Stir in the tomatoes, toasted cumin, remaining spices and harissa - add more spice if you like an extra kick. Add the peppers, chickpeas, three-quarters of the chopped coriander and the stock. Cover and cook for 40 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from the heat. Cool, then stir in the remaining chopped coriander. Can be served or frozen at this point.
• Pack into freezer bags and smooth the mince through the bag to flatten. Use within 3 months. To serve, remove from the bags and heat from frozen in a pan on the hob with a little water until bubbling hot, then scatter with coriander.
