Ingredients

For the spice blend:

  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes add if you like a little more spice
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp gluten-free plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Everything else:

  • 2 tbsp garlic infused oil for frying
  • 1 red pepper chopped into big chunks
  • 1 courgette chopped into big chunks (optionally replace with a diced onion if you can tolerate it)
  • 500 g minced beef
  • 1 gluten-free beef stock cube mixed with 165ml of boiling water
  • 400 g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp tomato puree
  • 250 g canned kidney beans drained
  • 2 dried bay leaves

To serve:

  • Spring onions chopped
  • Extra mature cheddar cheese grated (use dairy-free if necessary)
  • Long-grain rice or potato wedges

Instructions

  • In a small, dish add everything for your spice blend and mix together until well-combined.
  • In a large pan, add 2 tbsp of garlic-infused oil and place over a medium heat. Fry your pepper and courgette briefly until slightly browned, before adding in your minced beef. Break up the mince and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned.
  • Add your paste and mix in - stir fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add your stock, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree - stir in thoroughly.
  • Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer, then add your kidney beans and bay leaves. Simmer for 30-45 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Remove the bay leaves.
  • Serve up with rice or potato wedges and some grated cheese, if you fancy. Throw on some chopped spring onion and serve. Enjoy!
