Lean Chilli Con Carne

Method:

1) Melt the butter, ghee or oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mince and fry for 4-5 minutes, to brown all over. Season with salt and pepper.

2) Add the green pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato purée and chilli powder or paprika.

3) Simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. Add the kidney beans and cook for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, and add the rice. For timings, follow pack instructions (note: wholegrain rice takes longer than white rice). If using white rice, avoid stirring too much as this can cause the rice to become too sticky. When rice is cooked, drain and leave for 2-3 minutes to stand.

4) Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, add the cauliflower and cook for 3-4 minutes, then drain and mix with the rice. Serve.
