Method

Place a large cooking pot or flame-proof casserole pan over a medium high heat and add the oil. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery and peppers.

Then stir through the spices – chilli powder, smoked paprika and cumin. Fry the mixture for seven to eight minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Add the meat to the pan and fry gently until lightly browned, stirring regularly. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and then fill one of the tins with hot water and pour this in also. Add the worcestershire sauce and treacle.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 45 min, stirring every now and then. Before the end of cooking time add in the chickpeas and kidney beans. If it needs a little extra water, add some.

When the chilli has reduced , season well. Serve!
