How to Make Vegan Chili 

02

I like to use a heavy-bottom pot like a dutch oven.

Start with Olive Oil 

03

Start with olive oil then add all veggies to the pot.  Cook the vegetables for about four minutes. 

Bring on the spices! 

04

Add the garlic, spices, and lentils and cook one more minute, making sure not to let the garlic or lentils burn.

Did someone say wine? 

05

Add a splash of wine and give the veggies, lentils, and garlic a good stir, scraping all the nummy bits off the bottom of the pot.

Add everything else to the mix! 

06

Bring the vegan chili to a low boil and then turn it down to a simmer and cover for about 1/2 hour.
