- 2 clove [Garlic](https://fridge.menu/en/i/garlic) — finely chopped
- 2 pcs [Onion](https://fridge.menu/en/i/onion) — finely chopped
- 350 g [Minced beef](https://fridge.menu/en/i/ground-beef)
- 400 g [Tinned chopped tomatoes](https://fridge.menu/en/i/canned-chopped-tomatoes)
- 3 tbsp [Sun-dried tomatoes](https://fridge.menu/en/i/sun-dried-tomatoes) — finely chopped
- 100 ml [Beef stock](https://fridge.menu/en/i/stock)

- [Salt](https://fridge.menu/en/i/salt)
- [Black pepper](https://fridge.menu/en/i/black-pepper) — freshly ground
- 125 g [Tortilla chips](https://fridge.menu/en/i/tortilla-chips)
- 300 ml [Rice](https://fridge.menu/en/i/rice)
- 200 ml [Crème fraîche](https://fridge.menu/en/i/creme-fraiche)
- 150 g [Mature cheddar](https://fridge.menu/en/i/cheddar)
- 1 bunch [Coriander](https://fridge.menu/en/i/coriander) — fresh

## Steps

1. Heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the cumin, cinnamon, ground coriander, chilli flakes and garlic and stir for a few minutes until the spices release their aroma. (3 min)
2. Lower the heat, add the chopped onion and stir until softened. (6 min)
3. Add the minced beef and fry over high heat until browned, breaking up any lumps. (6 min)
4. Add the chopped tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and beef stock. Cover and simmer for half an hour. (30 min)
5. Taste the sauce; if you'd like more heat, add a little more chilli.
6. If the sauce turns out too hot, don't rush to fix it — the beans and chocolate will soon balance it out.
7. Add the kidney beans and heat through for 5 minutes. (5 min)
8. Remove from the heat, stir in half the chocolate first, then taste and add the rest if needed. (1 min)
9. Season with salt and black pepper.
10. Serve with tortilla chips, rice, good bread, crème fraîche and, if you like, bake with cheddar on top.
