This recipe is from the fantastic Lupe Pinto's - a superb import shop based in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Okay, not dead handy for Knaresborough, but they are definitely worth a visit when in either city and you can buy a lot of their stuff online.

They also have a great recipe book - Two Cooks and a Suitcase - available from the online shop where they also always have a few good recipes.

• 500g beef chunks or steak mince
• 1 chorizo, diced
• 2 medium onions (chopped)
• 1 garlic clove (minced)
• 200g tin of red peppers (pureed or chopped fine)
• 400g tin of tomatoes
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 4 chipotle chillies in adobe sauce
• 500g tin of black beans

Saute the onions and garlic for 5 mins. Add the beef and chorizo and brown well on high for 10 minutes.
