Chilli Con Carne

1. Fry mince on a low heat until brown.

2. Meanwhile dice onion and pepper and crush garlic.

3. Drain excess fat from meat, then add onion and cook for 5 minutes.

4. Add the pepper and lentils, cook for a couple of minutes (you can add a selection of other vegetables if you fancy).

5. Add the chilli powder and Worcestershire sauce.

6. Stir in tomato paste and ½ a stock cube, then add chopped tomatoes and kidney beans.

7. Bring to the boil, then cover the pan and simmer on a low heat for about 20-30 minutes. The lentils will go mushy and almost disappear when they are fully cooked.
