Lentil stew with chorizo. September arrives and we start with the routine, now it's time for some spoon dishes that are quite appetizing, although I also make them in summer, but I prepare them lighter, since they do not appeal to such strong dishes.
It is a very complete dish and even if it has a little sausage, which gives it a very good flavor. I only put a few small pieces to add flavor, but it remains a complete and healthy dish. Legumes provide very good nutrients. But if you want them lighter, you just have to do without the chorizo. It only remains to accompany this dish with a salad and we will have a great meal.
