Preparation

  • Heat the oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in the potato, chorizo, oregano, and paprika, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the lentils and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and their juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt, and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

    I loved this. Fairly simple to make and really delicious. It looks a little drab but tastes fantastic. I just used regular old brown lentils.

    Used the red lentils I had in the cupboard. Hard to get chorizo in the local market so I used linguica. In southern RI luinguica and chourico are easily available. Chourico is closer to chorizo, being a bit drier but I grabbed the wrong package. Linguica was quite good in this. Used Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes because I had them. All very good and the final result was terrific. Our daughter is vegetarian and I think soyrizo would work really well in this recipe.

    I thought this was an excellent lentil recipe. I used the lentils I had in the pantry which were a mix of red and green. Also substituted andouille for the chorizo. Used butternut squash rather than potatoes and crushed tomatoes. None of these substitutions would have affected the flavor significantly I don't think.

    This was fine. I love chorizo and the classic Spanish lentil stew, so I was excited about this. I enjoyed it but I just never felt like going back for leftovers. We might make it again.
