Ingredients
  

  • 750 g mince beef or a mixture of beef and pork
  • 1 onion
  • 1-2 red peppers
  • 2 sticks of celery
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons coriander
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 100 ml beef stock
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 240 g tin of kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 2-3 squares of dark chocolate
  • 100 g sweetcorn frozen or tinned

Equipment

  • 1 Pressure cooker Tefal Turbo Cuisine

Method
 

Preheat your slow cooker
  1. The Tefal Turbo Cuisine takes a moment to heat up, so turn it on and get it going on the stir fre setting before you start.
Prepare the vegetables
  1. Dice the onion, celery and peppers and peel the garlic. Set them aside for now.
Brown the mince and onions
  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in your frying pan if you're using one, or your slow cooker if it has a frying functionality. Cook the onions for a few minutes until they have softened, then add the mince and cook it for five minutes or so until it has browned.
    In our Tefal Turbo Cuisine, we followed the manufacturers guidelines and set it for 3 minutes on the stir fry programme.
Measure out the spices
  1. Measure the spices and add them to a small bowl.
Add the chilli ingredients to the Turbo Cuisine
  1. Add all the remaining ingredients to your instant pot and give them a stir. Put the lid on it and turn it to ensure it is locked. Programme it to 'stew' for 7 minutes. The pressure cooker will then get up to temperature and pressure before cooking the chilli for the 7 minutes.
  2. * If you have a different instant pot, make sure you follow the manufacturers recommendations and cooking times.
  3. Once ready, the Turbo Cuisine will switch to a keep warm mode. You can press the button on top to release the pressure before safely unlocking it.
  4. You could also slow cook this chilli in the Turbo Cuisine using the 'slow cooker' setting. To do this, add the mince, onions, vegetables, spices, tin of tomatoes, tomato puree and beef stock to the slow cooker (leave out the remaining ingredients for now).
    Stir everything together then set your slow cooker to cook on high for around 4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours.
    Around half an hour before the end of your cooking time add the kidney beans, sweetcorn and pieces of chocolate.
  5. Serve with rice and tortilla chips.
