Step 1

In the food processor chop 1 onion with garlic, green chillies, ginger and fresh mint and coriander leaves, then cook the mixture gently in hot oil (don’t allow it to brown).

Step 2

Peel the casings off chorizo sausages and crumble the sausage into the onion mixture.

Step 3

Add red kidney beans, tomatoes, beer, cumin, turmeric, coriander, bay leaves and star anise.

Step 4

Cook and stir the chilli for a couple of hours until it is thick and broken down. Taste and season as you go. Add fresh green beans to the cooking process for some colour and crunch.

Step 5

Serve topped with fresh coriander, spring onions and sour cream. You can serve the chilli with rice, use it to make nachos, or try it on a pizza.
