Chilli beef cornbread pies
Freshly baked cornbread is a great accompaniment to stews and chilli, and this recipe combines the two elements in one golden, bubbling dish. Shin of beef is a very economical cut – it needs a long cook to make it tender, but you’ll be rewarded with a fantastic depth of flavour.
