Ingredients for air fryer chilli con carne

1 carrot, grated

1 small onion, peeled and diced

500g of beef mince

1 red pepper, de-seeded and chopped

2 cloves of garlic, peeled and grated

A 400g tin of kidney beans, drained

1 teaspoon of ground coriander

1 tablespoon of ground cumin

A teaspoon of paprika

1 teaspoon of ground turmeric

1 teaspoon of chilli flakes

A tablespoon of tomato puree

200 ml of beef stock

1 Oxo cube

1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

To Serve:

1 bag of microwave basmati rice

1 tablespoon of frozen chopped coriander

Chopped Jalapenos

Grated cheese

2 Pitta breads

Method

So start by peeling and chopping your onion and adding to a mixing bowl with a drizzle of olive oil. De-seed and chop the pepper and add to the bowl.

Add your onion and pepper directly into your air fryer drawer and cook on 190c for 5 minutes or until they have started to soften. But remember to remove the crisper plates first. So whilst the onions and peppers are cooking, grate your carrot and garlic cloves.

Add the grated carrot and garlic to the air fryer, give the ingredients a good stir then cook for a further 3 minutes until all the vegetables are soft and starting to brown.

So whilst the vegetables are continuing to cook, in the mixing bowl add the mince and spices: a teaspoon of ground coriander, a tablespoon of ground cumin, a teaspoon of paprika, a teaspoon of ground turmeric, a teaspoon of chilli flakes. Add more chilli if you like it hot! Add a dash of olive oil to the bowl and mix the mince and spices well. Season with salt and pepper.

Then add your seasoned mince to the air fryer and mix with the vegetables. Cook on 190c for 8 minutes or until the mince has started to brown. But stir a few times to help break up the mince.

After 8 minutes, or once the beef has browned, add your beef stock, tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce and kidney beans. Then turn the temperature down to 180c and continue to cook for a further 5 to 8 minutes.

Finally serve your air fryer chilli con carne with frozen chopped coriander, grated cheese, chopped Jalapenos, pitta breads and a side of rice.
