I was looking for a new recipe for lentils.  I found a few recipes that looked Delicious.  The best recipe was Spanish Lentils Stew (lentajas)


I used Spanish Lentil Soup, I did have to change it to make it vegetarian.

4 carrots, chopped
garlic, chopped
3 handful cherry tomato, chopped
1/2 bag frozen peppers
3 small potatoes, chopped
1 soy chorizo, chopped
1 cup shredded kale
2 cups lentils
4 cups veggie broth
1 t cumin powder
1 t sweet paprika
1 pinch saffron

Cook onion and garlic in water until starts to turn color

Then add all other ingredients in a pot and cook for 30 to 45 minutes until veggies and lentils are cooked
