This recipe is from the fantastic Lupe Pinto's - a superb import shop based in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Okay, not dead handy for Knaresborough, but they are definitely worth a visit when in either city and you can buy a lot of their stuff online.

They also have a great recipe book - Two Cooks and a Suitcase - available from the online shop where they also always have a few good recipes.

I know it's not winter but I just had a fancy for making a REALLY GOOD chilli - not the mince-and-kidney-bean-tuesday-night-tea-variety, so I looked out this recipe and thought I'd share it with you in case you either didn't know it or had forgotten it.
