Let's go there with a lentil stew. From now on we are in the middle of spoon dishes and this is one of the ones we usually make at home: lentils with rice.
Nutritionally speaking, the union of lentils with rice is perfect. Nutritionists recommend introducing some cereal in the legume dishes in order to improve the protein quality of both ingredients. In this specific case, it costs us nothing and we enrich the dish.
If you want the recipe to be lighter, you can do without the meat products. Without chorizo they are also phenomenal.

Ingredients
- Water
- 1 hoja de laurel
- Carrots 3
- 1 Tomate
- 1 celery twig
- 400 g of lentils
- 1 sausage
- 1 piece of bacon
- 10 g of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 100 g of rice
Preparation
Two hours before starting to cook the lentils, we put them to soak.
Peel the carrots and clean the celery stick. Peel the tomato and cut it in half.
We drain the lentils and pass them through the stream of water. We put them in a large saucepan. We put the carrots, celery and tomato on top. We cover everything with warm water.
We put our saucepan on the fire.
We start cooking over high heat. If it releases foam, we will remove it with the slotted spoon.
When the water starts to boil, after a few minutes, we put it down to medium heat.
After a half hour of cooking we add the chorizo and the bacon.
We continue cooking until the lentils are well cooked. At that time we can add hot water if we see that the lentils are running out of water.
Once cooked we put in a small saucepan over the fire with the olive oil. When it is hot we add the paprika and the flour. We have a minute to fire. We add the salt.
Immediately we put this mixture in the saucepan where we have the lentils.
We stir slightly with a wooden spoon and continue with the saucepan over the fire.
After a few minutes we add the rice.
We continue cooking for about 20 minutes.
We serve immediately.
