Today’s Meatless Mondays deliciousness is being brought to you on Tuesday because, hey, sometimes life happens! Lately, Forks Over Knives’ Vegan Lentil Chili has been the stuff of our dreams here at Blue Barn Farm & Sanctuary. It’s one of those go-to recipes that keeps you wanting more. Not to mention, the house smells divine when there’s chili simmering on the stove top.

This is what Chef AJ, from Forks Over Knives, has to say about her recipe: 
“This is my family’s all time favorite chili! Red lentils cook very quickly and are not only pretty but creamy and delicious. We love to serve this over a baked Yukon Gold potato.”

Whether we’re out in the pasture working on getting the old, broken-down fencing out, or digging the post holes to install the new fencing for the pig enclosures, this chili fills the tank. All of the ingredients are plant-based so there’s no sleepy, heavy feeling after the meal, which is crucial when you’re feeding an army of animal rescuers eager to get back outside to help around the farm. Winter, spring, summer, and fall are all perfect times for chili!

Did I mention that there were no animals harmed in the making of this vegan red lentil chili? Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better! Remember: next time you’re thinking about what to eat, be kind, be compassionate, and have some empathy for all beings. Small changes, make big ripples.
