Method

  1. Drain the black beans, put into a pan and cover with cold water. Boil vigorously for 10 minutes, then lower the heat, cover and simmer for another 20 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large casserole. Brown the meat in 2 batches over a high heat. Lift onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and set aside. Add the remaining oil and the onion to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, until browned.
  3. Drain the red chillies, reserving the soaking liquid, and remove and discard the stalks and seeds. Put into a mini food processor with the garlic, green chillies, cumin, paprika and 4 tablespoons of the chilli soaking liquid, then blend to a smooth paste. Add the chilli paste to the onions and fry over a medium heat for 1 minute.
  4. Return the beef to the pan with the chopped tomatoes, 600ml water and the oregano. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 2 hours, until the beef is tender. Stir in the beans and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  5. To make the salsa, mix the diced tomato, chilli and coriander. Season the chilli to taste and serve with cooked brown rice, a spoonful of yogurt and some of the salsa.

  1. For that extra punch of chilli-hot spice, use a mixture of dried and fresh chillies instead of powder.

    Replace one third of the meat with beans and you’ll add soluble fibre and reduce the calories.
