Cupboard Essentials
- 1 tsp of cumin
- 1 tsp of smoked paprika
- 1 tsp of cayenne pepper
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & Pepper
Preheat oven to 180°C
Place the potatoes on a baking tray and glaze with a tbsp of olive oil. Pierce each potato with a fork and pop in the oven. Timer set to 1H.
**Relax for 30 minutes**
Start by dicing your onion and mincing the garlic. Place in a large saucepan with the pork mince. No need for any oil!
Gently fry on a medium heat for around 6 minutes then pour in the frozen peppers. Add all the seasoning and a pinch of salt.
Shortly after this, stir in the chopped tomatoes and some stock. Reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.
For some added nutrients, grab another baking tray and tear up some kale. Drizzle on half a tbsp of olive oil and massage into the leaves. Season with salt and pepper and pop in the oven for around 7 to 10 minutes. (Keep an eye on them, these guys burn real quick)
When the timer goes off for the baked potato, the chilli should be nicely reduced and ready to serve! Remove the potatoes from the oven and slice a cross over each of them, allowing them to open up.
Pour the sauce onto each potato and serve with a dollop of sour cream, some fresh coriander and your crispy baked kale. (There is more sauce per potato I just made it look a bit prettier for the #gram)
