Swap tip
If you don't have all the ingredients, you can still just use the basics for a great family meal.
1
Heat the vegetable oil oil in a large saucepan and add the onion. Fry gently for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the carrot, garlic, red chilli and peppers and fry for 2 to 3 more minutes, stirring often.
2
Add the frozen mince, beans, tomatoes, tomato purée and stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 25 to 30 minutes. At the same time, put the rice on to cook in plenty of gently boiling water – it will take 25 to 30 minutes.
3
Season the chilli with pepper, then serve in warm bowls with the cooked, drained rice.
