|
- 1-1/4 cups dry lentils (half a
pound)
- 4 cups tap water
- 2 tablespoons oil or bacon grease
- 1 to 2 tablespoons dry onions
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
- 15 oz can tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- Dash hot pepper flakes or Tabasco
sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Place the lentils and the water in a
large pot. Put the pot on the stove and
bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat so that
the lentils are simmering gently. Cook for
30 minutes. Do not add the other ingredients
until after the lentils have cooked. If the
lentils begin to get dry, or if their water
boils away then add more water. You want the
lentils to remain juicy while they cook.
When your 30 minutes are up, add all of the
remaining ingredients. Simmer the chili for
15 to 20 minutes and serve with crackers or
cornbread or over rice. Makes 4 servings.
This is a very good chili recipe. If you
have ground beef or turkey, or some cooked
chicken, you can add these to the chili too.
About 1/2 a pound of ground meat or about 1
cup of cooked meat will be plenty. This
recipe doesn't need meat to taste good
though. It is excellent just the way it is.
