Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients as listed.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned.
  • Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, and red bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté until softened. Stir in the paprika, ground cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper if using.
  • Transfer the beef mixture to a slow cooker. Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and beef broth, then stir to combine. Cover and cook until the chili is thick and flavorful, using either a low or high slow-cooker setting as desired.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bring the water to a boil, remove from heat, add the rooibos tea bags, and steep for about 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags, allow to cool, refrigerate, and serve over ice.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and milk until smooth.
  • Transfer the batter to a greased oven-safe dish and bake until set and lightly golden.
  • Toss the cucumber and red onion with olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Heat the butter or olive oil in a small pan over medium heat and fry the eggs until the whites are firm or as preferred. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Serve the chili topped with a fried egg, alongside corn bread, cucumber salad, and iced rooibos tea.
