I can’t sell these bowls to you in any other way but to say look at the pictures, I guarantee they are delicious. Topped with cheese, coriander, spring onion, guacamole and corn chips it is spicy, has a great balance between soft and crunchy textures and is utterly satisfying.

Ingredients:

• 250g ostrich mince
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2-3 small garlic cloves
• 1 small cinnamon stick
• 1x tin red kidney beans, rinsed
• 1x tin chopped tomato
• 2x tomatoes, blended
• 2Tb tomato sauce or purée
• 1 tsp salt
• 1tsp cayenne pepper
• 1tsp ground cumin
• 1tsp ground coriander

Method:

1. Sauté the onion and garlic in a little bit of oil.
2. Add the ostrich mince and break it up as it cooks. Let it brown evenly.
3. Add the chopped tomato, blended fresh tomato, spices, tomato sauce and a little bit of water.
4. Simmer on low- medium heat until the tomato starts to reduce.
5. Serve in bowls with the following toppings: grated cheese, guacamole, spring onion, coriander, corn chips, sour cream or yoghurt.

Tips:

Use beef mince if you can’t get ostrich mince. Use less oil if you need to be heart healthy, ostrich is also a better option health wise. Use as many or as little toppings as you like. If you need a carbohydrate, serve with brown rice but leave out the corn chips.
