Lentils with Chorizo - This stew is welcome as a winter warmer in northern Spain, but it makes a great tapa any time of year. Traditionally, Spanish pardina lentils would be used and cooked with the other ingredients, but this quick and easy recipe uses pre-cooked canned lentils. Sometimes, potato and green pepper are added.
