Simple Lentils with Chorizo

By Grazor

Ingredients

• 1 c. green lentils
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 5 oz. dried chorizo
• 1 tsp. smoked paprika
• madiera sauce (recipe follows)

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the lentils: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil; add the lentils. Simmer for 30 minutes or until just done. They should still be a little toothsome, don’t cook the shit out of them. Drain well and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 3-4 minutes. Pour in the madiera sauce and let reduce slightly, another 3-4 minutes.
Add the lentils to the chorizo along with the paprika and salt to taste. Toss to combine. Serve warm.
