Ingredients

  • 6-10 white mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1/4 onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic diced or crushed
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or plant-based chick'n broth
  • 1 cup vegan-friendly red wine or add 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 796 mL can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 540 mL can white potatoes chopped into large chunks
  • 2 cups split red lentils rinsed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 398 mL can black beans drained and rinsed

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, saute mushrooms until browned (about 5 minutes).
  • Add diced onion and cook until translucent.
  • Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  • Add spices and cook 30 seconds until bloomed.
  • Add vegetable broth and wine and scrape the spices off the bottom of the pot. Bring to a light boil for 2 minutes.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, lentils, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered for 20-25 minutes until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Add black beans and cook for another 8 minutes uncovered.

Notes

Ingredients

For a wine-free chili, substitute 1 cup red wine for 1 cup vegetable broth or plant-based chick'n broth.
If using fresh potatoes instead of canned, dice potatoes for even cooking.

Serving Information

Serve on its own, topped with croutons or plant-based sour cream, or with a side of toasty garlic bread.
