Dry uncooked lentils could be added to the chili and cooked until tender. Adjust thickness of your chili by adding water as needed while the lentils cook and absorb liquid. Allow 30 minutes cook time if cooking lentils in the chili from dry lentils. • • Garnish with greek yogurt, shredded cheese, fresh chopped cilantro, and/or sliced jalapenos. LOCALFRESHDELICIOUS
