Vegetarian twist on Cincinnati-style Skyline chili, swapping lentils for beef.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder, or more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 0.5 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 2 cups diced onions
  • 2 cups diced green bell pepper
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups dry lentils
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 cup water, or as needed
Instructions:
  • Combine chili powder, garlic powder, unsweetened chocolate, cinnamon, cumin, salt, cayenne pepper, allspice, cloves, and bay leaf in a bowl, mixing well until seasoning blend is fully incorporated.
  • Start by warming olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; sauté onions and green bell pepper until lightly browned, approximately 10 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and lentils; let it simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in seasoning mix, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce; simmer for an additional hour, adding water as needed if chili thickens too much.
  • Fish out the bay leaf from the chili, then use an immersion blender to blend until it reaches your preferred consistency.
