The best thing about this recipe is that it is plentiful, you prepare 1/2 kilo of these grains and you give it to feed several people letting them repeat a second time, because hey! They will want to eat more!
Generally a good recipe with lentils , apart from chorizo, includes paprika, which gives it an extra touch of great flavor.
It is also usual for the stew to have some blood sausage. This is optional, but I recommend it.
The other ingredient that should not be missing in any good recipe for stewed lentils is olive oil: just when you are sitting at the table about to start eating, you throw a good jet and good food!
Who does not remind children of a huge pot full of lentils with chorizo and black pudding ? This is one of those homemade recipes whose aromas are not forgotten. It's a meal that we should all know how to prepare.
And well, if you do not know how they are made, today I'll teach you 🙂
Let's talk about the main ingredients.
Lentils
The type of lentil to use is important. The common thing is to use pardina lentils.
Unlike other legumes, it is not absolutely necessary to leave the lentils soaking in water the night before, since these are cooked rather quickly. However, you can soak them for a while if you want.
Wash them well before putting them in the cooking pot.
The chorizo
To make this recipe you can use any good quality cured horseshoe sausage, even cheap supermarket ones can give good results.
Do not use barbecue sausage, in this case you need intense flavors to make your lentils amazing. p>
Ah! You can use spicy sausage too, in fact the result is sooo good 😀
Black pudding and bacon
Optionally, and I recommend it, you can put a black pudding and a piece of bacon. It gives even more flavor. Of course, it becomes a very strong meal.
