Lentils with octopus a different spoon dish. We always eat lentils with chorizo, as it is a legume that can be prepared with other ingredients. I propose this recipe that I tried and I liked the flavor it gives and thus make the most varied lentils.
Sometimes eating legumes cost a bit, but they can be prepared in many ways and made with ingredients that everyone likes at home. I add sweet paprika to this dish, but if you dare and at the last moment when we serve the dish, you can put hot paprika, it will be very good.
A plate of lentils with octopus for this cold, very simple and different. You sure like them.
