500 g Green lentils (rinsed)
200 g Chouriço sausage (sliced)
1 large Onion (chopped)
3 medium Carrots (diced)
4 Garlic cloves (chopped)
50 ml Olive oil
2 Bay leaves
1 tsp Paprika

Method

Heat olive oil in a large pot. Sauté chopped onion, garlic and diced carrots until softened (about 8 minutes).
Add sliced chouriço and paprika, cook 3-4 minutes to release flavors. Stir in rinsed lentils, bay leaves and enough water or stock to cover by 5 cm. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to boil, then reduce to low simmer. Cover and cook 35-45 minutes until lentils are tender and stew has thickened. Adjust seasoning and serve hot with crusty bread.
