In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in the rinsed red lentils. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender.

04

Step
10 hrs

Add the kidney beans, corn, and tomato purée. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

05

Step

Season the chili with paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir well to combine.

06

Step
0 mins

Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh chives before serving.

For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
If you don't have fresh chives, you can substitute with dried chives or other fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
This chili freezes well. Store in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.
