At home, no one can resist lentils with chorizo. It is one of the favorite dishes of children and it is not for less because they are very tasty.
So that they are only lentils with chorizo (and at most, for those who ask, with a little carrot and potato) what I sometimes do is put a piece of onion and a couple of garlic just to add flavor. I skewer them on a skewer stick and then I withdraw them. In this way I avoid that some children are waiting to find pieces of onion on their plate to put them on the side and in order not to eat them.
The sausages we like the most are the small frescoes but you can use fresh chorizo larger or the dry one used for this type of stew. The important thing is to calculate the amount well so that no one is left without a piece.

Ingredients
- 500 g of lentils
- 1500 g of warm water, approximately
- Carrots 2
- Small potatoes 2
- 1 / 2 cebolla
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 6 fresh chorizos (small)
Preparation
We soak the lentils for one or two hours.
After that time we put them in a saucepan with approximately one liter of warm water, two carrots (each cut into two pieces) and two potatoes.
On a skewer stick we prick the onion and the two cloves of garlic.
We also put it in the saucepan. We add the bay leaf.
We put the saucepan on the fire and let it cook for about half an hour, skimming if we consider it necessary.
After that time we add the fresh sausages.
We continue cooking over low medium heat adding water when we consider it necessary because the lentils will absorb the initial water.
Once the lentils are cooked, remove the skewer stick with the onion and garlic.
We now put a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a small saucepan. When it is hot, add half a teaspoon of wheat flour and half a teaspoon of paprika to the oil. We let it cook for a minute, no more so it doesn't burn, and we add it to our lentil casserole.
We add salt and leave the lentils on the fire for another 10 minutes and we have them, ready to take to the table.
