Preparation

1
Warm olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Stir in chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
4
Add the dry green lentils, canned diced tomatoes (undrained), drained and rinsed black beans, and kidney beans to the pot.
5
Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until lentils are tender and the chili has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
