Stir fry onions, meat and bacon in butter until the meat is brown on all sides. Add the flour and stir fry three minutes more. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil.

Add the ginger, the lemon juice and rind, the grains of paradise, the cinnamon and salt to taste and bring this to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with coriander.
