Extra nourishing chilli

This is a chilli for when you need a bit of extra nourishment. It contains lamb’s liver – which is a proper superfood packed full of nutrients like folate, B12, iron and vitamin A – as well as plenty of other plant foods and spices. And for those of you who aren’t fans of offal, don’t worry you can’t really taste it.

Extra nourishing chilli

Serves 6

  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 red pepper, roughly chopped
  • 500g beef steak mince
  • 125g lamb’s liver, finely chopped or blended in a food processor
  • 1x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 1x large tomato, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato purée
  • 1x 400g tin of red kidney beans, drained
  • Teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • Pinch of chilli flakes (depending on how spicy you like it)
  • Pinch of salt & pepper

To serve:

  • Sweetcorn
  • Smashed avocado with a dash of lime juice
  • Red rice / wholegrain rice
  • Greek yogurt
  • Lime wedges

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large casserole pan over a medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and peppers and fry for a few minutes, until softened but not browned.

Add the steak and liver, along with the paprika, chilli flakes, salt and pepper, and fry for around 5 minutes until slightly browned.

Add the chopped tomatoes (both kinds) and the tomato purée. Stir, and let everything simmer for around 20 minutes. Add the red kidney beans 5 minutes before the end.

While you’re making the chilli, cook the rice in a saucepan using one part rice to two parts salted water.

Serve with the rice, smashed avocado, yogurt and lime wedges.
