I'm always looking for new ways to use lentils. When I was in the mood for something spicy, I came up with this. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 cloves garlic, sliced |
3/4 pound bulk chorizo sausage |
5 ribs celery, sliced |
1 cup dried lentils |
3 cups water |
1 teaspoon ground dried turmeric |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, and cook until it turns golden brown, about 45 seconds. Add the chorizo sausage; cook and stir until the sausage is crumbly and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in celery, and cook until the celery softens, about 4 minutes more.
2. Pour off any excess grease from the sausage, then add the lentils and water. Season with turmeric, curry powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
