Method
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan with a lid and fry the onions, garlic, chilli, coriander and cinnamon for about 5 minutes. Increase the heat and add the beef mince, cooking quickly until browned and breaking down any chunks of meat with a wooden spoon.
- Pour in the red wine and boil for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the tinned tomatoes and crumble in the stock cube. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook over a gentle heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture is rich and thickened.
- Add the kidney beans. Cook for a further 5 minutes, uncovered, before removing from the heat, adding any extra seasoning if necessary.
- Preheat the oven to 220C/ 425F/ Gas mark 7.
- Using a slotted spoon, spread the chilli mixture over the pizza bases (you do not want too much liquid).
- Bake for 10 minutes until the base is golden and crispy.
- To serve, top with chopped avocado and garnish with sprigs of coriander.
