  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 2 cups diced onions

Instructions
1
Combine the following spices and ingredients in a bowl to create a unique blend: chili powder, garlic powder, unsweetened chocolate, cinnamon, cumin, salt, cayenne pepper, allspice, cloves, and bay leaf.
2
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large cooking vessel over a moderate heat setting; cook and stir sliced onions and green bell peppers until they are lightly browned, approximately 10 minutes.
3
Add a substantial amount of vegetable broth and lentils to the pot; let it simmer for 20 minutes.
4
Introduce the seasoning blend, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot; continue to simmer for an additional hour.

If the chili becomes too concentrated, add some water to achieve the desired consistency.
