- 1 tbsp tomato puree
Method
- STEP 1Dice/finely chop your onion, red chilli, garlic cloves and brown off in a pan on a medium heat in approx 1 tbsp oil
- STEP 2After about 7 minutes (you want the onions to be really soft and almost caramelised) add the turkey mince and brown off
- STEP 3Once the turkey mince is cooked through, add all of the dry spices into the pan and cook off for a further 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, stir well into the mixture and cook this out for about 2 minutes
- STEP 4Pour in all of the tins (drain the kidney beans/mixed bean tin before adding) and stir together. Add the stock cube at this point
- STEP 5Bring to the boil and quickly check for seasoning. Adda touch of water at this point if you want to. Reduce heat and simmer gently for an hour. You can also put in the slow cooker rather then simmer on the stove, and keep it bubbling away for at least 4 hours on low. Serve when its ready with rice, or in fajitas, on jacket potatoes or just on its own!
