This is a cheesy breadstick, intended to be served with chili.

Ingredients:

500g minced beef
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, de-seeded and chopped
1 red bell pepper, de-seeded and chopped
400g cooked red kidney beans (tinned is fine)
400g cooked black beans (tinned is fine)
400g cooked haricot beans (tinned is fine)
350ml passata (tomato sauce)
800g tinned, chopped, tomatoes
200g semi sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
450g pumpkin purée (home-made or tinned)
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp hot chilli powder
1 tsp ground cumin
sea salt, to taste

Method:

Heat a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until well browned and crumbly. Now add the chilli flakes, garlic and onion. Continue frying for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the bell peppers and cook for 4 minutes more.

In the meantime, combine the kidney beans, black beans, haricot beans, passata, tomatoes and pumpkin purée to a large casserole dish. Bring to a simmer and season with the pumpkin pie spice, chilli powder and cumin. Stir in the meat mixture when done and season to taste with sea salt.

Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and cook for about 90 minutes, or until the chilli is hot and all the ingredients are completely tender.

Serve hot, ladled into bowls. For a Halloween treat, serve accompanied by Parmesan witches' brooms.
