Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and brown the chorizo rounds for 3 minutes, allowing the red paprika oil to render out.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and carrot and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic and smoked paprika and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the rinsed lentils, diced potato, bay leaf, and broth, then bring to a boil over high heat.

  4. 4

    Reduce to a gentle simmer, partially cover, and cook for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the broth has thickened.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, discard the bay leaf, and let the stew rest for 5 minutes before serving warm in bowls.
