How to Prepare Bean and Tomato Chili [Vegan]

Prepare and measure all ingredients.
In a big deep pot, heat up the olive oil. Reduce heat to medium-high and sauté onions and garlic for 2 minutes. Add red pepper and jalapeño and sauté for 3 minutes.
Add the spices (chili powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, cinnamon) and keep sautéing for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add a little water if ingredients stick to bottom.
Add the chopped tomatoes and purée and mix. Add the tomato paste, maple syrup, beer (or stock/broth) and mix.
Stir in 1 cup of water (can add more later) and add the beans and green lentils. Mix and bring to the boil and reduce heat. Allow to simmer with lid half on for 30 to 45 minutes stirring regularly.
Take off heat and let the chili settle with lid on for 15 minutes. The chili will thicken so you can add another cup or more of water to get a desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in bowls as is or with whole grain rice and /or crusty bread.
Tastes even better the next day and freezes well.
Enjoy!
