Handy HintMake sure you sweat the onions for at least 7 mins to release the sugars and then the chorizo to release the fat. The flavours develop by doing this - I use this technique for most dishes involving onions. Some vegetable stocks are not gluten-free: if this is an issue for you, check before using. |

Method1. Heat a large pan and, when warm, add the two oils.2. Sweat the onions for 7-10 minutes. 3. Add the chorizo bits and stir while it releases its fat. 4. Crush the garlic with some salt and leave it for ten minutes to sweat its oils; add to pan. 5. Add the other spices and herbs and cook for 2 minutes. 6. Deglaze the pan with the tinned tomatoes and vegetable stock. 7. Add the red lentils, cabbage and potatoes and simmer for 30 minutes until the lentils have swelled. 8. Season to taste and serve with chunks of French bread or similar. | |||||||||||||||||||
