    Recipe



    COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Rub the
    potatoes with a little oil. Prick with fork or thread onto
    skewers to speed cooking (or potato baker). Bake
    them on the top shelf for 30 minutes before
    beginning to cook the chili.

    2. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the garlic, onion and
    pepper gently for 4-5 minutes until softened.

    3. Add the beef and fry until browned all over, then
    stir in the chili, cumin, cayenne pepper, tomatoes,
    tomato paste, 4 tablespoons water and the herbs.
    Cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer for about 25
    minutes, stirring occasionally.

    4. Remove the lid, stir in kidney beans and cook for
    five minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped
    fresh cilantro. Season to taste and set aside.

    5. Cut the baked potatoes in half and place them in
    serving bowls. Top with the chili mixture and a dollop
    of sour cream.
