Whoever has a pot and can fill it, has a treasure. In times when we have become very picky about what to eat, especially when they require cooking and slow heat, returning to the tradition that legume recipes represent becomes almost a necessity.
First for him cold that has been getting these last few days throughout Spain, reason to take shelter in the spoon and secondly to give respite to the wallet, because 2024 is starting uphill and we don’t know how much we are going to have to pedal.
Therefore, these stewed lentils, so easy as infallibleare one of our winning horses to warm up and, by all means, not leave your wallet shivering from the first steps in this month of March.
There is no science at all and there is nothing but flavor in the world, especially if we make a good stir-fry with which to tone the bottom of the casserole. From there, little added complication. Lentils have the wonderful virtue of being the the only legume that does not need prior soaking, which allows us to have a casserole with the seal of approval of mothers and grandmothers in just one hour.
In this case, furthermore, it is a diet recipe because We are not going to add any sausages or sausages.. If you want, do it, but honestly we would say that these are widow lentils, since they only contain vegetables.
Furthermore, you will see that with the garlic and paprika contest, two of the common seasonings for chorizos, there is no need to add more power than necessary. The only thing we have to do is start the sauce with onion, garlic, green pepper, tomato and carrot.
When it is ready, add the lentils and potatoes crushed into small pieces, add a pinch of salt, we add water to cover and let them cook, covered, for about 45 minutes or until they are tender.
After the magical touch of paprika. In a separate pan we heat a little extra virgin olive oil, add the paprika and remove quickly so that it does not burn, adding it to our lentil stew. et voila! To enjoy!
