"2kg Beef Brisket trimmed and sliced into 2.cm cubes
500ml hot coffee
3 large dried chillies
olive oil (or pig fat as per above ;0) )
2 heaped teaspoons of ground cumin
2 Heaped teaspoons of smoked paprika (it is well worth getting this, found it in the speciality bit in sains)
1 heaped teaspoon of dried oregano
2 fresh bay leaves ( i used dried)
2 red onions peeled and diced
3-4 fresh chillies
2 cinnamon sticks
10 cloaves of garlic peeled and finely sliced (i crushed)
salt and pepper
4 x 400g tins of chopped toms
3 tablespoons molasses or muscovado sugar
3 peppers deseeded and sliced
2 X 400g tins of beans (kidney,butter or pinto) drained
Make coffee, whilst its hot, soak the dried chillies in it for a few minutes to let them rehydrate. Meanwhile put your largest casserole type pan (dutch oven) on a low heat (high over the fire) and add a few lugs of olive oil, the cumin, paprika, oregano, bay leaves and onions. Fry for 10 minutes, untill the onions have softened. Deseed and chop half your fresh chillies. Slice Up the rehydrated chillies and add them to the onion mixture along with the chopped fresh chilli, the cinnamon sticks, sliced garlic and a good pinch of salt and pepper and a splash of the chilli infused coffee. Stir, then add the rest of the coffee, the tinned tomatoes and the molasses or sugar. Add the pieces of brisket and another good pinch of salt and pepper , cover with a lid then simmer for 3 hrs, stirring occasionally.
After a few hours use 2 forks or a potato masher (I used a hand whisk, worked very well) to break up the meat and pull it apart. Once you have done this add the slice peppersand tinned beans and leave to simmer, stirring occasionaly, for 30 minutes with the lid off untill the meat is completely falling apart and deliciouse."
