Lentil Stew with Pumpkin, Carrots, and Spanish Chorizo Sausage

Lentil Stew with Butternut Squash and Chorizo Sausage

Lentejas.  Lentil Stew.  A favorite in my household. Of course, it has to have Spanish chorizo sausage.

During the Fall and Winter, I like to add whatever squash and root vegetables I have on hand.

Since this meal is on my menu for the week, I decided to pull this recipe that I posted on foodie.com last year.

This week I’ll add pumpkin and carrots.  Sweet and savory.. perfect for Fall.

  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 2 cups pumpkin, peeled and diced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp Spanish paprika

Method:

  2. Uncover the vegetables and add the lentils, 1 whole tomato, Spanish chorizo sausage, 2 quarts water, 2 bay leaves, Spanish paprika and salt.
  3. Bring to a boil.

    Yum, this looks & sounds really good!! Where do you buy your Spanish Chorizo? I am in Iowa as well, Eastern so we don’t have ALL of the same stores, but we have many of the same! I know you are picky about meat, as am I–my husband LOVES chorizo, but haven’t purchased any in ages because I don’t know of a healthy option…Or, do you make your own?!
