Puy lentil with chorizo
For a quick & easy lunch or supper I highly recommend this dish, made with ready-cooked puy lentil with chorizo, as it takes 10 minutes to create. Serve it with crusty or flat bread and a green salad – I mixed it together with some leftover steamed brown rice, it was absolutely delicious! If you don’t have ready-cooked, vacuum-packed puy lentils, just cook a cupful of dried lentils, following the packet instructions – then follow this recipe.
Ingredients
Method
- Slice the chorizo and the shallots, dice the red pepper.
- Put all in a frying pan, then heat the pan over medium heat, letting the fat release gently from the chorizo.
- Cook until the onion is soft, the chorizo is crispy (but not burnt).
- Add the lentils & vinegar and stir until warmed through.
- Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Just before serving you can crumble some feta or goat’s cheese on top if you like.
