Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, beef stock and water, stir well, cover, lower heat to minimum and simmer for 2 hours. Uncover and stir every 30 minutes, adding more water if necessary.
Uncover and cook for 15 minutes more. Add the flour dissolved in butter and stir well. Cook for a few minutes more, until the chilli has thickened. Remove from heat and serve.
Notes and tips The chilli freezes well for up to 3 months. You can divide it in small plastic containers and freeze it. To use, remove from freezer and thaw (you can use a microwave) then heat and serve.
