We are having quite the snow storm here in the northeast, so I left work as the snow began and shuffled my way to the grocery store to get a few things I needed to make a vegetarian chili of sorts. The main ingredient in this meatless treasure? Lentils!
I have been having a love affair with lentils since this summer when I decided to cut meat out of my diet. They are by and large my favorite legume. They are easy to cook, and they are high in protein and iron. They also have lots of fiber, which is key to keeping me from getting too hungry between meals. I have heard them called one of THE most important foods to incorporate into your diet.
Dr. Fuhrman encourages frequent consumption of mushrooms and onions, of which this dish has plenty. I will post the recipe with a picture in the morning; I'm done eating for the night and forgot to take a nice picture after I completed my masterpiece.
