Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups cooked lentils
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can red beans, rinsed
1/2 onion, diced
2 large garlic cloves
1 pinch salt
cayenne
1/8 cup olive oil or 1/8 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons green chilies
1/2 cup water, as needed
1/4 cup cream, substitute

Steps:

  • Saute onion and garlic in some canola oil.
  • Add cumin, chili powder and cayenne, stir it in with the onions and garlic for a couple minutes.
  • Added a can of crushed tomatoes (not drained). This is when you add the green chilies if you use them.
  • Lowered the heat and let it cook down for a bit. About 5-10min.
  • Added cooked lentils (cooked from dry) and red beans, no need to add water.
  • Add the salt, lowered the heat and let it cook down until it thickened.
  • Added just the smallest amount (mixed into each serving of a maybe half tsp) of plain fat free greek yogurt to give it a creamier texture.
