Instructions

Step 1

Dice the onion and garlic. Drain and thoroughly rinse the beans.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a medium sized pot over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and fry for 5 minutes or until soft, stirring often so it doesn’t burn.

Step 3

Once the onion and garlic are soft add the ginger, chilli, cumin and paprika. Stir through and let it cook for a minute or two

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes, the beans, cocoa powder and crumble the stock into the pot. Stir to combine, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Cover with a lid if you have one. Stir occasionally to check it is not sticking to the bottom and add a splash of water if it gets too thick

Step 5

To prepare the rice, add 1.5 mugs of rice and 3 mugs of water to a pot over high heat. Bring to a boil. Once the water is bubbling, turn the heat down to low and cover with a lid. Let cook for at least 15 minutes. At this point check if all the water has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through. If not, continue to cook with the lid off until no water is left. Fluff with a fork and your rice is ready to serve.

Step 6

Squeeze some lime or lemon juice to taste if you’d like to on your chilli, it will bring out all of the flavours
