Method

For the chilli: heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and saute the onions and garlic for about 5 minutes.
Add the mince and cook for 8-10 minutes until brown, breaking up any meaty chunks with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the honey, paprika, cumin, chilli powder and cayenne (if using) and fry for a minute before adding the chopped tomatoes and beef stock. Season to taste.
Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the red kidney beans and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes.
While the chilli is simmering, grill or pan-fry the sausages until cooked.
Place a sausage in a sub or hot dog bun and top with a good serving of the chilli followed by garnishes of your choice.
