Red Veggie Chili - Vegan and Gluten Free

The most amazing meal this week in my kitchen. I like sweet potato, corn, beans, tomatoes and after that chili I like the red lentil too. Rich and creamy, full with vitamins, nutrients and fibers. I made in Slow Cooker, so it's easy to make too. I don't like to speak too much from the ingredients and how amazing this meal, please try if you like! 

Ingredients:
- 1 cup red lentil
- 1.5 cup diced sweet potato
- 3/4 cup diced white onion
- 2 diced clove of garlic
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 1 can diced tomato (organic - no salt added)
- half of a Jalapeno chili (without seeds and veins - if you like spicy food, leave)
- 1 veggie bouillon (see the ingredients list!) [You can use veggie stock - in this case don't use water just the broth]
- 2 tbsp sugar / 1 tbsp sweetener - what you prefer
- 2 tbsp ketchup (vegan & organic)
- 2-3 cup water
- spices: (I used that measures, but please taste because we are not the same! ;) ) salt (2 pinch), ground black pepper ( 1 big pinch), oregano (2 big pinch), marjoram (1 pinch), mustard powder (1/8 tsp) Worcestershire sauce (1/2 tbsp), Sriracha (2 tsp)
-1 cup frozen yellow corn
- 1 can kidney beans (reduced salt - washed and drained) [You can add 1 more can if you like bigger portion of bean in there]

The preparing process is easy: put every ingredients to the slow cooker with 2.5 cup water, without the corn and the beans. Cover and cook in low heat for approx.2 hours (until the sweet potato and the lentil soft, but I like to cook the lentil fully because this will be the creamy part of our dish). Now you need to taste, add any missing spices what you need to your taste and after that add the leftover ingredients. Cover back and cook one more hour to the better taste and consistency! Easier to digest the lentils and beans when you serve them with fresh salad. I added some steamed Jasmine rice and fresh Romain & Baby Spinach mixture! Enjoy!
