Hearty Tempeh and Lentil Chili
Simmered tempeh and lentils in a smoky tomato sauce with aromatic spices for a deeply savory and satisfying plant-based chili.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Tempeh
0.75 cup Cooked brown lentils
0.5 cup Tomato puree
0.5 cup Diced yellow onion
0.5 cup Diced red bell pepper
0 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Chili powder
0.5 tsp Ground cumin
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender.
Crumble the tempeh by hand into bite-sized pieces and add it to the pot, stirring frequently to lightly brown the edges for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper, ensuring the spices are toasted and fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree, cooked brown lentils, and vegetable broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the chili has thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then ladle into bowls and enjoy while warm.
