Method

  1. 1

    Brown the diced beef in a large pot over a high heat for 4-5 minutes, then add the sliced onion and cook for 5 minutes more.

  2. 2

    Pour in the coconut milk and 300ml water, add the thyme sprigs and the whole scotch bonnet chilli, cover and simmer for 45 minutes until the beef is tender.

  3. 3

    Mix the self-raising flour with a little water to a firm dough. Roll small pieces between your palms into long, thin spinners.

  4. 4

    Add the kidney beans and the spinners to the pot and simmer for 15 minutes until the spinners are cooked through and the stew has thickened.

  5. 5

    Lift out the scotch bonnet, scatter with the sliced spring onions and serve hot.
