Instructions

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the minced meat and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until it reaches 71°C / 160°F and shows no pink.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste, chilli spice mix, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Let it reduce for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Drain the corn and kidney beans through a sieve, then add them to the pan along with the tomatoes and their juice. Use a fork to mash the tomatoes.
  7. Wash the green bell pepper and red chilli pepper. Cut each in half lengthwise, remove the core, and discard. Coarsely dice the green pepper and finely dice the red chilli. Add both to the pan and stir well.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Serve with fresh white bread or baguette.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
