Ingredients
- 450g lean minced beef (turkey or Quorn if you prefer)
- 1 stick celery, finely sliced
- 2 med carrots (chopped finely or grated)
- 1 med yellow pepper (chopped)
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1-2 tspn garlic replacer, optional (available via FODMarket)

- 400ml can chopped tomatoes

Method
Fry the beef, celery, yellow pepper and garlic replacer (if used) in some of the oil for about 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly until brown. Add the chillies, carrots, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree, blending well. Simmer, stirring occasionally for another 5-10 minutes, testing the carrots to ensure they’re soft. Put in the remaining ingredients, adding the kidney beans and coriander last and enjoy watching the chocolate melt and give the dish colour and flavour.
