We had this tonight and it was wonderful! We got four big serves out of it

and it was delicious and filling ‹ and very low in calories and fat! I used

spark people¹s recipe calculator to get the nutritional data for this, so

I¹ll post that after the recipe. The recipe itself is from McDougall¹s

Quick & Easy Cookbook, and I¹ll post the recipe exactly as it is in the

book, but I added a chopped bell pepper and left off the cilantro because I

don¹t care for it. Those were the only changes I made.

QUICK SPICY LENTIL CHILI

2 cups red lentils

2 quarts vegetable broth

2 cups diced onion

1 16 ounce can chopped tomatoes

1/4 cup tomato paste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon thyme

Several twists of freshly ground black pepper

Pinch of crushed red pepper

Dash of cayenne pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Combine all of the ingredients except cilantro in a large soup pot. Bring to

a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer over medium-low heat

for 30-35 minutes until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally,

adding more water or broth if needed for proper chili consistency. (It

didn¹t need any.) Remove from heat, stir in the cilantro and serve.

Servings: We got 4 large bowls which were very filling.
