  • Total Time: 65 mins
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 pepper, chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 175 g red lentils (rinsed)
  • 600 ml vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp Mexican/fajita seasoning
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 250 g kidney beans (washed and drained weight)
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

To make the vegetarian chilli, heat the coconut oil in a large pan on medium heat and add the onion and pepper. Lightly fry for around 5 minutes until the onions start to turn golden brown.

Add the garlic and fry for a further 30 seconds to a minute.

Add all of the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to low, pop a lid on and gently simmer for around 45 minutes.

Be sure to stir the pot every 15 minutes or so and add a splash of water if the lentils soak up too much liquid and it starts to get too thick.
