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.
