Aush (Afghani Chili)

"This is a delicious and exotic alternative to American style chili. It's not too spicy, but combines intriguing flavors. I adapted this recipe from a traditional Afghani family favorite. It may be cooked in a slow cooker, dutch oven, or soup pot. Try it also with ground lamb or ground turkey."
