LENTIL AND QUINOA CHILI
This is a hearty chili full of lentils, quinoa and unique flavors. While I use homemade chicken stock, it can be made vegan by subbing vegetarian broth for the stock. I like to skip the canned beans and use dried. I prepare 1/2 of each, dried kidney and black beans and have them ready to go before I make this recipe, but you can use canned for convenience. You can also use canned tomatoes if you prefer. If you use canned ingredients, you may want to reduce the amount of salt used.
