350 ml hot beef stock
2 tablespoons tomato puree
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1½ teaspoons hot chilli powder, or to taste

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
Place the onion, red pepper and chillies (if you use it) in a pan and place in the air fryer, drizzle the oil evenly over the top. Cook for 5 minutes.
