Before you start

  • Pull out a medium frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Get started

  • Finely dice the onion. Dice the pepper into 2cm chunks
  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the venison mince, three-quarters of the onion and the pepper and cook for 5 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper
  • Finely chop or crush the garlic. Drain and rinse the beans

Simmer simmer

  • Add the garlic, cumin, hot honey and the half pack of chipotle paste (add less for less heat) and cook for 1 min, until fragrant
  • Stir the beans, passata, and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person) into the pan and simmer for 5-6 mins, until the sauce has reduced slightly. Season to taste

Make the salsa

  • Peel the orange (including the pith) and dice into 1cm chunks . Roughly chop the coriander and peanuts. Quarter the lime
  • In the small bowl, combine the remaining onion, the orange, peanuts, half the coriander and the juice of half the lime. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Share the venison stew between bowls, topped with the orange peanut salsa. Scatter with the remaining coriander and serve with the remaining lime wedges to finish
