Saute one finely chopped onion and a couple of cloves of garlic in a saucepan and set aside.

Dry fry lean mince in a larger pan and when browned all over, drain all the juices off. Add 250-350mls red wine and turn up heat to reduce. Throw in 2 Knorr beef stock cubes and 2 large bay leaves.

Once the wine has completely reduced and stock cubes have disintegrated, add 1 jar red pesto and a heaped tablespoon of tomatoes puree. Combine thoroughly and add one tin of chopped tomatoes and one tin of kidney beans in chilli sauce (available in tesco).

Season with cumin, cinnamon and mace and add as much chilli powder/cayenne as you desire. Finally, add 4 small squares dark chocolate and keep on lowest heat for 30 minutes whilst all the flavours combine.

Serve with grated cheese and a large dollop of soured cream on top.

OH's daughter had tenth birthday party on Sunday and I made my chilli for the adults - it went down a storm!

I always add a large splash of milk, just after adding the mince, it prevents the mince from being to dry. I also add a heaped teaspoon of Marmite. - Lush

one large onion finely chopped one red and two green chillies ditto saute gently in a large pan in a little olive oil Add a large pack of lean minced beef and cook until browned add two tins of chopped tomatoes and two tablespoons of tomato puree, add a pint of stock made with two beef cubes and mix well, then add some oregano and basil about 1/2 tsp dried and salt and pepper.
one heaped teaspoon of smoked paprika and a heaped teaspoon of fajita spices (not traditional but gives a really deep flavour) allow to cook slowly stirring occasionally until reduced by about a third(approx 90mins ) then stir in a drained can of kidney beans some chopped mushrooms and chopped red bell pepper continue to cook for another 30 mins takes ages but really rich and spicy I also add a pack of chopped chorizo for the last half hour but that adds about £2 to the recipe serves about 6 portions
