Kidney Beans: When you use pork shoulder in a chilli as opposed to minced meat, it’s the addition of heat-packed chillis and red kidney beans that distinguish it from a delicious goulash. Biona Organic kidney beans are a brand I often stock up on. Keep a tin or two of in your cupboard in anticipation of your next chilli party.
