Spanish Lentil Chili
Oh, so delicious and tasty! The robust tomato flavor is unbelievable. This is the perfect legume meal! Lentils are a vegans' best friend. Extremely cheap and high in protein and fiber, lentils are easily prepared and a super-easy way to pack out any salad or fill any wrap.
This vegetarian chili recipe is gluten-free and also focuses on using less sodium! We know that a lot of lentil chili recipes can be quite the same and pretty boring, but we guarantee this one is everything but boring.
Our chili recipe is packed with refreshing flavor. Another great thing about our lentil chili is that it uses, brown lentils that hold their shape while cooking. Red and green lentils often turn to mush when cooked, but the brown lentil holds its shape and provides excellent texture in this dish! Not to mention all the health benefits that come with eating lentils! They are little superfoods!

I love this idea. I read the recipe over and would like clarification on the 24 ounce can of tomato paste. For me that seems like a lot when I see the other ingredients. I might use 2 (6ounce) cans. Could you confirm that volume of tomato paste? is that one 24 ounce can of tomato paste?
Thank you, love your beans, peas, and lentils!
