Lentil Chili

No reviews

There is nothing more comforting on a cold winter day than a cozy bowl of chili. In this recipe, I skip the ground beef and use lentils instead. The texture and flavor is similar to a traditional chili and is just as satisfying. For serving, I like to top this dish with coconut yogurt and chopped onions.
