Preparation
Step 1
Peel the onions and garlic. Slice the onions and finely chop the garlic.
Step 2
In a frying pan, lightly fry the onions and garlic over low heat. Do not brown them.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a cast iron pan, fry the mince in a little olive oil. Season with salt. Stir regularly.
Step 4
Add the onions and garlic to the mince.
Step 5
Season with all the spices and heat over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring.
Step 6
Add the tomato puree and beef stock. Check the seasoning. Cook without covering for 1 hour.
Step 7

Step 8
Chilli always taste better the longer you let it simmer slowly, so don't hesitate to make this dish well in advance. And...it tastes even better reheated the next day - you will really get the best of all the flavours.
