We'd been out to lunch today, so I wanted something a little lighter and easier for dinner tonight.
I've decided to cook mainly from the freezer and pantry for awhile, as I've way too much food in the house.
I also thought I'd try and use some of my TMX cook books that I never use.
My DH and I both love lentils, so I thought we'd both enjoy this dish.
I didn't use the 250g of chorizo as per the recipe (as chorizo is very fattening), instead I used half chorizo and half lean short cut bacon. I sauteed the bacon with the onion and garlic at the beginning. I also added some paprika to make up for the flavour of the missing chorizo. Once it was finished cooking, I placed it into my thermoserver and stirred through some baby spinach - this wasn't in the recipe, but I add spinach to a lot of my dishes as we love it and it's good for you.
I served it with focaccia, made using the EDC recipe.
This recipe was quick, easy and very tasty. We both really enjoyed it.
