- In goes the beef mince, use a wooden spoon to break it up until no longer lumpy and pink, and the juices released have evaporated.

Notes
- Chili is not a dish to be rushed, you get the best possible flavours by cooking it on a lower heat, so that all the ingredients blend together nicely. Do not worry if the pumpkin doesn't hold its shape too well, it means all the goodness is in the chili.
- It might look like there is too much liquid to being with, once the chopped tomatoes and beef broth are added, but it means that the longer it cooks to absorb the liquid, the bigger the flavours.
