CAJUN CHILLI

 

CAJUN CHILLI

(A tad hotter than normal chilli - only ever make this for my daughter, who loves spicy food.)

Serves 4

0.5 Syns for the entire recipe

500g extra lean minced beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Half a teaspoon of sugar - 0.5 Syns
Chilli powder
Smoked paprika
Cajun spices
400g can chopped tomatoes
400g can of mixed beans or red kidney beans

Spray a large lidded pan with Frylight and cook the onion and garlic, until softened. I always start the onion off in the microwave, with a splash of water or use frozen onion straight into the pan, as it speeds the softening process up considerably.
Add the minced beef and cook until brown. Tip out any excess liquid/fat.
Add all the spices, to taste.
Next add the beans, tomatoes and the sugar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Lower the heat and simmer, covered, until cooked through. Approx. 30 minutes.
If it isn't thick enough, remove the lid and boil rapidly until the desired consistency is reached.
