One-pot Chili sin carne
Heart-warming one pot Chili dish, perfect for Winter! The lentils and kidney beans make it high in proteins and will ensure that you stay full for a while. It is a very versatile dish; you can eat it on its own, with rice, pasta or a bake potato! For presentation, you can garnish it with fresh coriander and/or a few slices of avocado. Enjoy!
Lentils: Ideally use brown lentils. Alternatively, green lentils can also be used. Those two types hold their shapes while cooking. Do not use yellow/red lentils, they will disintegrate and give you a completely different end product.
Onion: Both red and yellow onion are fine for this recipe.
Tomato can: Try to buy a good quality tomato can as this is the main ingredient in the dish. A can of finely chopped tomatoes is best. If you end up using a can of whole tomatoes, make sure to smash them with your hands before adding to the pot.
Kidney beans: Make sure to drain the water out and rinse the beans before adding them to the pot.
Extra: In addition to the carottes, aubergine and red pepper, you can also add a can of sweet corn.
