      My Grandma’s Lentils.

      Even though it’s still hot around here, I’m starting to crave hearty soups—or maybe I just miss my grandmothers’ stews. Today, some nutritious little lentils.

        They look really good. Just yesterday I was thinking about lentils. It’s still hot here, but I’m starting to crave them, and if they’re a grandma’s recipe, even better.

              I sauté garlic and very finely chopped onion, add diced carrots, pieces of chorizo for the meal, and strips of pancetta. I sauté everything well, then add a little crushed tomato. Once it’s well sautéed, I pour in a generous splash of red wine and let the alcohol reduce. I add a few peppercorns, two bay leaves, and the lentils, cover with water, and let them cook for 15 minutes over high heat, then lower the heat. When there are about 20 minutes left, I add some roughly chopped potatoes and adjust the salt to taste.

                For those who don’t know what “chascadas” potatoes are, let me explain. Take a peeled and washed potato; using a small knife, start cutting off a small piece, and before you finish cutting, pull upward so that the piece breaks off from the potato; the rough texture left behind will cause it to break away from the potato during cooking and naturally thicken the broth.
