Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal, light- and dark-green parts separated
1 red bell pepper (about 6 ounces), diced
1 orange bell pepper (about 6 ounces), diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Two 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes with their juices
1 cup dried red lentils
Two 14.5-ounce cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups frozen diced butternut squash (from a 10-ounce bag)
1 tablespoon agave syrup or maple syrup
Assorted garnishes such as thinly sliced radish and jalapeno, cubed avocado and pepitas, for serving

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add the light-green scallion parts, both bell peppers, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garlic, ancho chile powder, cumin and cinnamon and cook, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens in color and the garlic is softened, about 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and their juices, lentils, 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the temperature and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils have softened, 12 to 15 minutes. Fold in the kidney beans, butternut squash and agave syrup and cook, stirring once or twice, until the squash is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve the chili in bowls and garnish with the radish, jalapeno, avocado, pepitas and dark-green scallion parts as desired.

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add oil, onion, and red pepper. Season with a healthy pinch each salt and pepper and stir. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add jalapeño and garlic to a mortar and pestle and crush into a rough paste (alternatively, blend in a small food processor, or finely mince). Add to the pot with onion and red pepper, and season with another pinch salt and pepper.
Add 2/3 of the chili powder (2 Tbsp as original recipe is written), half of the cumin (1 Tbsp as original recipe is written), paprika, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and water, and stir to combine. Bring to a low boil over medium high heat.
Once boiling, add lentils and reduce heat to medium-low or low, so it's at a gentle simmer. You want to see bubbles, but you don't want it boiling. Cook for 15 minutes, or until lentils are mostly tender. As it's cooking you may need to add more water if the mixture is looking too dry and the lentils aren't submerged (I didn't find that necessary).
