Ingredients
  

  • 400 g braising beef
  • 400 g tinned black beans I used organic
  • 1/2 red onion sliced
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 pieces dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp oil of your choice
  • 2 tbsp Spanish/Mexican crumbly cheese to serve
  • 1 handful coriander to serve

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan add some oil and on a medium heat brown the beef, then set aside.
  • Add the onions to the same pan and cook until soft and glossy. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes, then add the beef back into the saucepan.
  • Add the spices and keep stirring until everything is combined. Add the salt.
  • Add enough water to your pan to cover the beef and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for an hour and a half or until the beef is tender.
  • About half an hour before the end, add the tinned black beans and a few pieces of dark chocolate, and stir until the chocolate is melted, this will help thicken your sauce and add depth.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and coriander. Serve with rice, tacos or jacket potato. Enjoy!
