Serve chili over spaghetti and top with chopped onion, finely shredded Cheddar cheese, kidney beans, and Tabasco® sauce. I used to love Skyline Cincinnati-style chili. When I went vegetarian I came up with this Skyline lentil chili to give me that Skyline taste. I use green or black lentils as the protein where standard Cincinnati-style would use ground meat. Even though I’ve gone back to eating meat this is still my preferred way to get my Skyline fix.
Ingredients
Lentil Chili
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
- 2 cups diced onions
- 2 cups diced green bell pepper
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups dry lentils
- 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup water, or as needed (Optional)
Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons chili powder, or more to taste
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 bay leaf
Directions
Step 1
Mix chili powder, garlic powder, unsweetened chocolate, cinnamon, cumin, salt, cayenne pepper, allspice, cloves, and bay leaf together in a bowl until seasoning mix is well combined.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir onions and green bell pepper until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add vegetable broth and lentils; simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in seasoning mix, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce; simmer for 1 hour more, adding water if chili gets too thick.
Step 3
Remove bay leaf from chili. Blend chili using an immersion blender until desired consistency is reached.
Cook’s Notes:
If you want this to be vegan, use vegan Worcestershire sauce cheese.
