Remove the tip from 2 brown or yellow onions, slice in half, and peel off the skins, saving scraps for stock.

Dice the onions into medium to large pieces.

Grate 4 cloves of garlic using a microplane or fine box grater to create a paste.

Prepare 3 spring onions by separating the roots from the stems; slice the roots into circles and the stems on a slight angle for garnish.

Heat a large pot over high heat and add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil (optional).

Add 1 kilo of beef mince to the pot and let it sit for 2 minutes to form a crust, then break it up and brown for about 5 minutes until no redness remains.

Season the beef with sea salt flakes to taste, and drain excess fat if desired.

Add the diced onions, spring onion roots, and minced garlic to the pot; cook for 3 minutes until vegetables are browned.

Stir in 14 grams of ground cumin, 2 grams of red chili powder, 7.5 grams of smoked paprika, 5 grams of mustard powder, sea salt flakes, and cracked black pepper to taste; cook for 1.5 minutes to enhance flavor.

Add 200 grams of concentrated tomato paste, 60 grams of tomato ketchup, 20 grams of yellow mustard, 12 grams of brown sugar (optional), 3.5 grams of ground allspice, 30 milliliters of apple cider vinegar, and 350 milliliters of beef stock; mix well and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In the meantime, prepare 300 grams of washed long grain rice in a saucepan with 550 milliliters of cold water and sea salt flakes; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook undisturbed for 12 minutes.

After 12 minutes, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.

After 35-40 minutes, remove the lid from the chili, mix, and check for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.

Serve the chili divided into portions, topping with optional sour cream and garnishing with spring onion stems.
