Lentils with spicy chorizo ​​and paprika

After two days of partying in which most of us have eaten dishes that are not usually included in our menus, there are those of us who want to return to the routine. To cook, for example stews like this one lentils with spicy chorizo ​​and paprika, simple and comforting.

Vegetable stews are key in my weekly menu. We eat them, generally, two or three days a week, always trying to rotate the type of legume. I always start preparing them with a good vegetable base And it is that although what the spicy chorizo ​​has highlighted in the title due to the great flavor it provides, the amount of it is very small.

In this stew the important thing is the vegetables: onion, pepper and carrot. And it's important to be generous with these. If you also have leek at home you can add it and they will be spectacular. I encourage you to try this way of making them; I'm sure you'll enjoy them.
