Chili con carne

Chop the onions and garlic nice and fine and fry in a large pan or casserole in some olive oil until softened. Add the chili powder, fresh chili, cumin and a little seasoning. Then add the minced meat and continue to cook, stirring, until it has browned. Blitz the sun-dried tomatoes in a food processor with some olive oil until it becomes a paste. Add this to the beef with the tomatoes, cinnamon stick and a glass of water. Season a little more if you like. Bring to boil, cover with the lid and leave to simmer softly for about 1h. Add the beans and leave again for 30 minutes.
