Kankun Chilli Con Carne

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Onions chopped
• 1 Large red pepper chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves minced
• 1kg lean beef mince
• 2x400g cans chopped tomatoes
• 2x400g cans red kidney beans (rinsed and drained)

 Method :-

Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan with a lid and fry the onion, pepper and garlic until softened.  Increase the heat and add the mince, cooking quickly until browned and breaking down any chunks of meat with a wooden spoon.  Once browned, drain off any excess fat, stir in the tomatoes, bottle of Kankun chipotle sauce, cumin, coriander and crumble in the stock cube.  Season well with salt & pepper and add some water to loosen the dish up.  Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook over a gentle heat for about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture is rich and thickened.  Add the kidney beans and fresh coriander, cook for a further 10 minutes uncovered.  Serve with rice, guacamole, sour cream and green salad.

Kankun Chicken Fajitas

To celebrate Cinco de Mayo during the month of May, I will be showcasing a number of Mexican recipes courtesy of Kankun Sauce.  They have a range of sauces which are incorporated in the recipes.  For those of you who haven't tried them I would certainly recommend you give them a go.  The Habanero is not for the faint hearted, a few splashes is all you need to lift a dish!  I have used the whole range and they are now my sauce of choice, packed full of flavour, I seriously can't get enough of them.
