Lentil Chili image

Hearty and filling, we really liked Karina's lentil chili. It's so filling and tasty you don't even realize it's meat-free. The lentils and beans soak up the delicious chili flavors. We loved the bits of sweet corn and carrots throughout. Cilantro adds a fresh taste to the chili. If you want to make this vegetarian, use vegetable...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c lentils, dry
4 1/2 c chicken stock (or vegetable)
1 can(s) Northern beans or any bean you like
1 c frozen corn
1/2 c carrots, diced
1/2 c onion, diced
2 can(s) diced tomatoes (14 oz each)
1 pkg chili seasoning
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1/4 c cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. First, clean your lentils.
  • 2. In a pot add olive oil about 2 Tbsp. Saute carrots, onions, and jalapeno.
  • 3. Add lentils and cook for 1 minute. Add 4 c of chicken stock and the cilantro. Bring to a boil and lower temperature to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes until lentils are cooked.
  • 4. When lentils are cooked add cans of diced tomatoes and remaining chicken stock. Add the package of chili seasoning.
  • 5. Rinse your beans and add to the pot. Cook for 10 minutes more.
  • 6. In the last 5 minutes of cooking add the frozen corn.
  • 7. Serve it hot or warm and top with cheese. I like cheddar but you can do any cheese you like and don't forget the sour cream. Eat with corn chips or crackers - we like both.
