• 1 red chilli deseeded or keep half with seeds if you like it spicy
• 2 sprigs of thyme, leaves picked and roughly chopped
• Olive oil, for frying
• 500g good quality beef mince
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp sweet paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 3 fresh tomatoes or 1 beef tomato, roughly chopped
• 400g chopped tomatoes
• 100-200ml chicken or beef stock
• 3 tbsp tomato puree
• 1 cinnamon stick

• 400g kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Method: How to make Gordon’s chilli con carne
1. Sweat the onion, garlic, chilli and thyme in 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan. At the same time, brown the mince in a separate pan over moderate heat in a little oil (watch Gordon’s step-by step video on how to handle chillis).
2. Add the dried spices to the onion mixture and cook until they release their aroma. Then stir in the beef and mix well. Add the fresh and tinned tomatoes and leave to cook down a little for about 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the chicken or beef stock and stir in tomato puree to taste. Drop the cinnamon and bay leaf in then bring to the boil and leave to simmer.
4. Once the sauce is beginning to thicken add the kidney beans and leave to cook for another 5-10 minutes to allow the beans to soak up the flavours. Check for seasoning.
5. Mix the chives and soured cream together. To serve, spoon the chilli into the centre of a mound of rice, with the soured cream and chives in a separate bowl on the side.

Kaizen Reef name: Phoenix
Common name:Flame Angel
Scientific name: Centropyge loricula
Physical description: Brilliantly coloured red with a hint of orange (hence the ‘flame’) with dark bands on the body and bright blue towards the caudal fin.
Distribution: Reefs in the South Pacific, Indonesia, Australia, and have been seen in the Hawaiian Islands.
Diet: Omnivourous. Prefers plant based foods but will also accept finely chopped meaty foods like brine shrimp and mysis shrimp.
Important dates: 1/23/10 added to reef
Personal notes: Lots of information out there says that this fish should be the last fish added to a tank as they tend to become quite territorial. So far Phoenix has been quite shy yet amicable towards her tankmates.
Kaizen Reef name:Muddy
Common name:Lawnmower Blenny
Scientific name:Salarias fasciatus
Physical description:Contrary to most available information regarding lawnmower blennies, Muddy changes his colours frequently within a wide spectrum of tans and browns and is sometimes striped. A large dorsal fin extends the length of his body. His eyes are adorned with light blue spots and delicate antler-like projections called cirri. He spends most of the day eating microalgae off the rocks.
Distribution:Indo-Pacific
Diet:Algae. Prefers microalgae but also eats the green off some macroalgae.
Important dates: 1/23/10 – added to reef
Personal notes: Muddy lives up to the name of his species by mowing algae from the live rocks all day long with his comb teeth. He was named after Muddy Mudskipper from the Ren and Stimpy show because he looks kind of like him despite not being an actual mudskipper.
