Method
STEP 1
In a medium sized pan over a medium-low heat sauté the onion and pepper for 5 minutes, until soften. Add the garlic and sauté for a further 2 minutes. Add cumin, Smoked paprika and chilli powder once you can start to smell the spices stir though your tomatoes, stock, sugar and oregano.
STEP 2
Bring to the boil, add the beans then turn down the heat and simmer for 40-45 minutes. You may need to add a little water as you go if the chilli becomes too thick.
STEP 3
Season to taste and serve fresh from the pan with a lime wedge and a sprinkling of Coriander.
Notes: This can be served with either tortilla warps, tortilla crisps or fluffy rice, maybe a combination of two.
