Easy Chilli Con Carne

Place a large saucepan over a medium heat and pour in the oil, then add the garlic and onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly. When the vegetables are starting to soften, add the minced beef to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, turning it so that it browns nicely all over. Add the paprika, chilli flakes, cinnamon, cumin and about two tablespoons of the stock to the pan and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the tomato purée and cook for another minute or so. Next, tip the chopped tomatoes and stock into the pan and stir gently to ensure everything is well combined. Bring the pan up to the boil, then reduce the heat and leave it to simmer gently for about 25 minutes, stirring every so often (this is a good time to cook your rice). 

Stir the drained beans into the Chilli mixture and cook for another couple of minutes, to ensure the beans are warmed through, then check the seasoning and add more salt or pepper if you think it needs it. Serve the Chilli piping hot, on a bed of rice with the coriander leaves scattered over the top.
