Preparation
1
Finely chop the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add the chopped bell pepper and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the bell pepper begins to soften.
4
Stir in the chili powder, cumin powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
5
Rinse and drain the canned kidney beans and black beans. Rinse the dry red lentils thoroughly under cold water.
6
Add the diced tomatoes (undrained), rinsed kidney beans, black beans, red lentils, vegetable broth, and water to the pot. Stir everything together well.
7
Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 35-40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
8
The chili is ready when the lentils are tender and the chili has thickened to your desired consistency. If it's too thick, add a little more water or broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
