Lentil Chili Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Annacg / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago This was adapted from the Feb. 2008 issue of Bon Appetit. The original version was okay, but I added a few things here and there (honey, extra tomato puree). Follow the directions as stated, but when the chili thickens, add more spices to taste.
