6 servings ingredients:
- 500 gr dry Lentils.
- 3 Garlic cloves.
- 3 tablespoon Olive oil.
- ½ Onion.
- 1 big Potato.
- 1 Carrot.
- 1 teaspoon Paprika.
- 2 Chorizos.
- 2 Bay leaf.
- 1 tablespoon Sherry Vinegar.
- 100 ml. Red wine.
- 1L. Vegetable or chicken stock. (You can use water instead).
- Salt to taste.
Directions:
- Wash the lentils.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Dice the carrot and the potato.
- Smash the garlic clove with the side of the knife. Just press down on the knife until you hear the skin crack.
- Heat up the olive oil in a pot with the garlic.
- When the garlic clove turns golden brown remove it from the pot.
- Add the chopped vegetables.
- Stir fry for 2 minutes.
- Stir in lentils drained and the paprika.
- After 2 minutes or so place the liquids (stock or water, wine and vinegar), the chorizos, washed bay and a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil.
- Let it simmer for at least 50-60 minutes.
- Let it stand for about 1 hour.
Suggestions:
- You can add “black pudding”, “panceta” or ham bones with the chorizo if you want.
- You can boil the “Chorizo”, “black pudding”, “panceta” or ham bones before adding to the pot to remove some of the fat from them.
- You can make the recipe simpler putting all the ingredients together in the pot (without stir-frying) with cold water, heat it until it boils and then simmer. Use the same cooking time. The result is good but a bit less tasty.
