Instructions
1 Heat the oil in a large saucepan or casserole dish, then add the onion and red capsicum. Fry them gently over a low to medium heat for several minutes until they’re just starting to soften, then add the garlic and cook for another minute.
2 Add the pork mince and stir until it’s all well browned. Sprinkle in the cumin, oregano and chipotle paste (or other hot sauce), then tip in the beans and tomatoes.
3 Pour 2 cups water into the pan, then add the diced sweet potato and push well into the chilli.
4 Bring the mixture to the boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer the chilli for half an hour, then take the lid off the pan and simmer for another 15 minutes to reduce the sauce.
Serving suggestion
Serve with garnishes such as brown basmati rice, grated cheese, diced avocado, sour cream, handfuls of chopped fresh coriander and lime wedges.
HFG tip
Turkey or chicken mince will make an easy swap for the pork in this recipe, if you prefer. For vegetarian diets, use soya or Quorn mince and add to the pan in step 2 with the spices, beans and tomatoes (without browning first).
