Spicy Red Lentil Chili image

This is a copycat recipe. The original is available at Wegman's. I got the basics from the 3 Fat Chicks website and modified it a little bit. Very spicy. Use your food processor to do the vegetable dicing.

I'm always looking for new vegetarian chili recipes, and this one is definitely a keeper. The red lentils give the chili a hearty texture, and the spices are perfectly balanced. I especially love the addition of cumin and coriander.
