400 g whole canned tomatoes / crushed tomatoes
1 packet of kidney beans

2 tsp sambal alt. chili to taste
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper

Start by cooking the rice according to the instructions, we cooked the rice with broth for extra good taste. Then chop the onion and fry with butter in a pot. Pour the ground beef into the pot and grate the carrot in the meantime. When the mince is cooked through, add the tomatoes, carrot, broth and spices. Let simmer for 10 minutes and finish by pouring in the kidney beans. Taste and serve with the rice <3
