Instructions

1
Warm the oil in a heavy saucepan. Cook the onions and garlic until soft, then add the beef and break it up until browned.
2
Pour in the wine if using and let it bubble down briefly, then stir in tomatoes, tomato puree, chillies, spices, Worcestershire sauce, stock cube, and seasoning.
3
Simmer gently until the chilli is thick and glossy, stirring occasionally so the bottom does not catch.
4
Fold in the kidney beans and coriander and cook until the beans are hot and the batch tastes rounded.
5
Finish with lime at serving time, then portion the chilli for meal prep with rice, salad, or baked potatoes as needed.

Store and reheat

Cool before storing. Keep refrigerated portions for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat slowly until bubbling hot, loosening with a spoonful of water if the chilli thickens.
