- Add tomatoes, kidney beans and beef stock. Simmer for about 5 mins..
- Stir in half of the worcestershire sauce and taste. Don't worry if it doesn't taste like chilli as the spices come next..
- Now my favourite bit, adding spices and tasting. It is important not to add to much and keep tasting as you add something because you can't take it out when its gone in..
- With all you have left over, worcestershire sauce, cumin, chilli powder, cayenne pepper and salt add a quarter of each at a time. Stir in and leave for a minute and taste..
- Add more spices if you feel it needs it. Remember a little at a time and taste..
- When you feel it needs no more, reduce your chilli if it needs it by gently simmering and stirring occasionally..
- Serve with rice, jacket potato, crusty bread or whatever you fancy. Enjoy..
