Chilli, chilli, chilli, chilli.

Chilli.

After a few weeks without eating red meat, I was hankering for a favourite comfort food of mine. 

Beef Chilli with Rice. 

When the only piece of cutlery required to eat is a spoon, you know it's going to be a winning event.

To get everything started, some oil in a frying pan then ..

Shallots

Garlic

Chillies (however hot you like it)

Baby Peppers (sweeter than the large ones)

Cherry Toms (or tinned, whatever's to hand)

Kidney Beans

400g Beef Mince 

Water to keep everything bubbling away for forty/forty-five minutes 

Rice, it's not complicated.

For just me, this amount works

In a saucepan ..

One mug of cold water

Bring it to a simmer

Half a mug of rice goes in

Stir & cover

Ten minutes 

Test a few grains

Off the heat with the lid on for two minutes

Dish up. 

Go for seconds
