Black bean chorizo chilli

Ingredients

• 1.5 Chorizo sausages, diced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Onion, diced
• 1/2 cup Green capsicum, seeded and diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Black beans, soaked overnight or two tins black beans or kidney beans
• 1.5 cups Beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon Dried chilli flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground pepper or to taste

Directions

1. Heat oil in a dutch over or large saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion, green capsicum and chorizo.  Saute for about 5 minutes.
3. Add remaining ingredients.
4. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the beans are cooked.  Stir occasionally.  If the beans have been soaked but not cooked this will probably take 2-3 hours and you may need to add more water several times.  If they are pre-cooked it should only take 30 minutes or so.  A tip though, the longer you cook it the more the flavours will develop.
5. Serve with various sides – avocado, corn chips, sour cream or natural yoghurt, cheese, rice.
