The ingredients needed to make Lentils with chorizo:

1. Get 750 g pardina lentils (small ones)
2. Take 1 large spring onion
3. Take 1 leek
4. Get 3 carrots
5. Take 1 garlic clove

Steps to make Lentils with chorizo:

1. Peel and cut the leek, onion and carrots into very small pieces. Grate the garlic clove and the ginger. Poach it slowly in a pan with olive oil for around 10 minutes (if you are using red chili instead of aji, cut it in very small peaces and add it here!)
2. After 10-12 minutes, add the bacon and tomato - peeled and cut into small pieces -, the ají (if you are using it dry), the bay leaves and salt. Let poach for 5 more minutes
3. Then add the paprika, and after a minute, not more (otherwise the paprika will get burnt), add the lentils - previously washed and drained. Add enough water, more than to cover the lentils, but not too much, so that they do not remain watery at the end (we can always correct if water evaporates!)
4. When they get to boil, leave them over medium heat for around 20 minutes. Then, add the chorizo ​​(I normally cut it into slices about 1.5 cm thick)
5. Cook them for around 20-30 more minutes, until the lentils are soft, and add more water if needed. We normally serve it with some white rice. Enjoy them!!!
