Lentil Chilli
by Chloe Moir
Lentils are a relatively low calorie, high protein and high fibre pantry staple that are super easy to prepare. Lentils readily absorb sauces, so they’re great in flavoursome curries, chillis and soups. We are loving this spiced chilli recipe from nutritionist Chloe Moir chloemoirnutrition.com
