Winter in New Zealand calls for two things: something warm in your glass and something hearty in your bowl—so why not combine the two? Our Mulled Wine Beef Chili is like your favourite cozy jumper in food form. It’s spicy, rich, a little bit boozy, and totally soul-soothing. We’ve taken a classic chili and given it a cheeky winter twist with bold red wine and warming mulled spices. Trust us—your tastebuds (and your toes) will thank you.
