Not everyone wants to use minced beef or Quorn mince for a chili, so here's a version that uses Puy-style lentils. It's also a great way of using up (or disguising!) winter root vegetables. t's scrummy enough to get past some of the most devout meat-eaters I know, so why not give it a go, served with brown rice? Mix in a couple of tablespoons of natural yoghurt, if you want a less spicy version or if the chili is too hot.

Steps:
- Put the lentils in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes, not allowing them to boil dry. They should be almost cooked after this time.
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and sauté the onion, garlic, carrot and parsnip for 10 minutes.
- Add the chili, ground coriander seeds and cumin. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Roughly chop the tinned tomatoes and add to the frying pan with the tomato paste, balsamic vinegar and stock cube. Mix well.
- Add the lentils and stir well. Cover and simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes.
- Add the kidney beans and heat through. Finally add the chopped cilantro leaves.
- Serve with brown rice and a garnish of natural yoghurt.

[email protected]This chili is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less chipotle peppers if you don't like spicy food.
