LAMB CHILI WITH LENTILS
Mr. Franey brought this French-inspired variation of the American classic to The Times in 1993 his 60-Minute Gourmet column. In a nod to his country of origin, he calls for lamb instead of beef, and tiny green lentils for red kidney beans. Beyond that, you'll recognize most of the players - onions, garlic, celery, red pepper, jalapeño, cumin and chile powder. It is a sophisticated take on traditional cowboy fare. Serve it alone or over rice.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large heavy pot, and add the meat. Cook over medium-high heat for three or four minutes, stirring with a heavy metal kitchen spoon to break up any lumps.
- Add the onions, garlic, celery, red pepper, jalapeno pepper, cumin and chile powder, and stir to blend well. Cook until the onions are translucent.
- Add the oregano, bay leaves, tomatoes and chicken broth along with 1 cup water and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Cook for 20 minutes.
- Place the lentils in a saucepan with 3 cups of water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often. Drain.
- Add the lentils to the meat mixture. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove bay leaves. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, and wedges of lime if desired.
