Sometimes things only run out peachy alongside a recipe.  Even a Weight Watcher’s recipe tin convey surprise too delight!  This was for certain the instance alongside this chili.  Black beans too lentils are peachy alone, but add together spices and tomatoes too peppers and yous may accept a novel menage unit of measurement favorite.  Sometimes I similar a lot of flavour too a trivial boot particularly inward legume based creations.  Topped alongside cool, creamy Greek yogurt, yous accept a flavorful, filling, salubrious dinner.

So what if it’s healthy!  You don’t accept to country anybody.  If you’re feeling actually bad virtually it, throw inward roughly chips too grated cheddar cheese to mask your deception.  All joking aside – I am pleasantly surprised at how much I dear this chili.

You’ll demand lentils, olive oil, onion, blood-red pepper, garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, diced fire-roasted tomatoes, dark beans too cilantro.

Rinse too alternative over the lentils, removing whatever debris.  Cook the lentils inward plenty H2O to encompass yesteryear several inches.  Bring to a boil too trim down estrus to low.  Simmer for virtually 10 minutes.

While the lentils are cooking, combine all the spices inward a modest dish.  Stir to combine.

Drain the lentils too develop aside.

Chop blood-red peppers.  I had roughly orangish too xanthous inward the crisper too then I threw them inward too.

Mince the garlic …

Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat.  Add olive oil.

Stir inward diced vegetables too garlic.  Cook until softened.  About 10 minutes.

Once vegetables are cooked, add together the spice mixture too stir for 1 minute.

While the vegetables are cooking, drain too rinse the dark beans.

Chop the fresh cilantro, discard stems.

Add the beans too tomatoes alongside their juice to the pan.  Stir good to combine.  Cover too simmer for 10 minutes.  Fold inward lentils too chopped cilantro too serve!

I dear that this was non overcooked too mushy.  The lentils were yet a trivial theater too the beans had non disintegrated into mush.  Topped alongside apparently Greek yogurt too garnished alongside cilantro, dinner is served!
