Lentils and black beans are a delicious pairing in vegetarian chili. It’s tasty on its own but also great topped with light sour cream and cheese.*

Ingredients

  1 1/2 cup(s) dry lentils, French-variety, picked over for debris   
1 Tbsp olive oil   
  1 large uncooked onion(s), diced   
  1 large sweet red pepper(s), diced   
2 Tbsp minced garlic   
3 Tbsp chili powder   
2 tsp dried oregano   
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin   
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper   
1 tsp kosher salt   
  29 oz canned diced tomatoes, fire-roasted with chiles, undrained   
  31 oz canned black beans, rinsed and drained   
1/2 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, chopped   

Instructions

  • Place lentils in a large sauce pan and cover with water by several inches; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are tender but retain a little bite, about 10 to 15 minutes; drain well and set aside.

  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, pepper and garlic, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.

  • In a cup, combine chili powder, oregano, cumin, cayenne and salt; add to skillet and stir well to combine. Cook, stirring often, about 1 minute.

  • Add tomatoes and their juice, and beans to skillet; stir well to combine. Cover skillet and simmer so flavors can blend, about 5 to 10 minutes. Fold in lentils and cilantro; serve. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Love this recipe. I'm always looking for dishes with lentils b/c my hub is a vegan. This was perfect :).

This was delicious. Super cheap to make and easy! I added some chopped avocado, cilantro and green onions to it. Will definitely be making again!

It was amazing! Full of flavor! You can also put it over a bit of brown rice which is excellent also! But watch your POINTS!
