Lentils with Spanish Chorizo Sausage

Lentils with Spanish Chorizo Sausage | myhumblekitchen.com

Lentils with Spanish chorizo sausage. This has to be one of my favorite comfort foods. This is a recipe that I have grown up with and could eat every day if I had to. It’s a simple recipe that my children enjoy.

Chorizo Sausage and Pimenton are two staple Spanish ingredients in this recipe.

Chorizo is a dry/cured sausage that is found in every local bar and household in Spain. The taste is amazing. In Spain, they sell different varieties of Chorizo. Some that can be cut into thin slices and eaten in sandwiches (bocadillos or montaditos), and other varieties that are meant to be used for cooking in stews.

Pimenton, is Spanish Paprika. It gives a great smokey flavor to foods.

As you can tell, this is simple to make. There is no need to dice the vegetables. Just slice them in half and add them in. My favorite thing about this recipe is that it tastes even better the day after!

    I just made this yesterday and it is sooo good! I actually added some homemade chicken broth instead of water to give it more taste. Wonderful!
