Chef Jim Gray’s Lentil Chili

Chef Jim Gray says:

I like my chili spicy and this recipe calls for hot Mexican-style chili powder, which also contains cumin and other dried herbs. But because I like flavorful heat, sometimes I’ll even add up to four whole chipotle peppers, lending their smoky taste to my chili (I remove the chipotles before finishing the dish).

Please note, too, that as a devotee of Texas-style chili, I do not use beans. However, since this is truly a vegetarian dish and, shudder, a vegan one, too, you could add any style beans you wanted.

Indian Red Lentil Soup

Amrita Hazra, a researcher who is at UC Berkley launching her own Millet Underground, offers this recipe for an Indian lentil soup. She says,”I make this at least twice a week, because it is so simple!”

Red Lentil Dosas

Dosa can be stuffed with fillings of vegetables and sauces to make a quick meal. They are typically served with a vegetarian side dish which varies according to regional and personal preferences. This recipe combines red lentils with long grain rice.
