Charmaine Lu -

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 250g beef mince
  • 2 diced onions
  • 6 slices of spicy chorizo, diced
  • 2 crushed garlic cloves
  • 400g tin of tomatoes
  • 250g rice
  • 220g trimmed green beans, cut into quarters
  • 400g tin of kidney beans in chilli sauce
  • 50g grated cheddar
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the beef, onions and chorizo for 5 mins, or until the beef is browned all over. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, rice and beans, then add 2 tins of water and stir well.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 12 mins, stirring occasionally, until the rice is just tender. Stir in the chilli beans and cook for 5 mins more to slightly reduce the sauce. Season well, then serve with grated cheese on top.
