Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups dry green lentils
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 medium potato, cut into chunks slightly bigger than bite size

  • salt & pepper

Method

  • Soak the lentils in cold water for an hour prior to cooking.
  • Heat olive oil on low heat, add onion and garlic. Sautee until onion begins to look translucent and garlic browns a little.
  • Add water and lentils, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add potato.
  • Add chorizo, in one inch slices.
  • Cook until lentils get soft and expand and chorizo filling strains against natural casing, about 40-45 minutes.
