Instructions:
Instructions: Drain and rinse the beans then bring them to a rolling boil in a pan of fresh water on top of the aga.

Cook for 10 minutes on the simmering plate then cover and transfer to the simmering ovenuntil required.

Cook the onions slowly in the oil in a covered ovento hobcasserole on the floor of tire roasting ovenfor about 10 minutes to draw out their natural sweetness.

Stir in the minced beef garlic and chilli powder and cook for a further 10 minutes on the floor of the roasting oven.

Add the herbs chopped tomatoes and seasonings then stir in the drained beans and bring to the boil on top of the aga adding as much stock or water as necessary to just cover the meat and make a thick moist sauce dont add tat much as very little will he boiled away during cooking.

Cover the pot and cook on the floor of the simmering ovenfor at least 2 hours and a maximum of 10. The longer you leave it the richer the chilli will be.

Prepare the simple salsa by mixing the tomatoes avocado and spring onions together with a little seasoning and the lime zest and juice.

Wrap the garlic bread in foil and heat on a wire shelf in the roasting ovenfor 15 minutes or as directed.

Serve the chilli with garlic bread and a spoonful of the saha

I always think that the best chilli con carne and minced beef sauces are achieved by a long slow cook although we often think of these dishes as a quick supper. The aga simmers to perfection. Go out for the day and forget about the chilli it will come to no harm if you are late home.
