     1 Medium Onion, chopped
     2-3 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped 
     Generous grind of black pepper 
     1/2 lb minced beef 
     1 tbs Tomato paste 
     8oz tin of chopped tomatoes 
     4 Green Chilli peppers, 2 with seeds 2 without, chopped 
     6oz Mushrooms, chopped 
     1 tsp Oregano 
     1 tsp Basil 
     1 Bay Leaf 
     1 small tin of red kidney beans, drained 
     salt and black pepper

Method
Place the garlic and black pepper in a saucepan with a small amount of
olive oil, leave for a few minutes. Place on heat, add onion and fry
until lightly golden.

Add minced beef and fry until browned. Add tomato paste, Chilli
peppers and chopped tomatoes. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer. Add
herbs and mushrooms then simmer for about 35 minutes, until the sauce
reduces and thickens. If it gets too dry add a little water. 

Add the kidney beans, simmer for a further 5 minutes then salt and
pepper to taste. Serve with rice. Minced TVP can be substituted for
the beef for a tasty vegetarian version.

Vegetables ( Cauliflower florets, carrots, sweetcorn etc can be added
to the above to increase the quantity but it is based on servings for
two people.  Enjoy,
