Our red bean and lentil chili involves minimal chopping and can be prepared in about an hour. We like to eat this chili with a crostini, rice, or tortillas.

Equipment

  • 1 Large and shallow pot
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Chopping knife
  • 1 Wood spoon

Ingredients 

Spice Mix

  • 2 tbsp Chili powder
  • 2 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp Salt

Instructions

  • In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cornstarch.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, mixed vegetables, red beans, lentils, spice mixture, and veg stock/water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.

Optional

  • To enhance the texture and flavor, transfer 2 cups of the chili to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the blended mixture back into the pot and combine well. Alternatively, you can blend the chili briefly with an immersion blender directly in the chili pot.

Notes

This chili will keep well in the refrigerator for about four days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
