Classic Spanish Lentil Stew | One of Spain´s Most Iconic Dishes

I made this! It is fantastic. Please understand...I am an absolutely horrible cook. The only thing I'm skilled at in the kitchen is setting off the fire alarm, which is why I rarely cook. This turned out delicious and I have a little bit more confidence now. Thank you for such great content and easy to follow directions.

[@ThePlataf]

I teach cookery. One of the things I impress on students is: Basics first. No point trying to make an elaborate meal if you haven't mastered basic techniques. They are the foundation of everything. The other thing when learning is: Only cook food that you like. No point in making something that you already hate. You want to eat and enjoy your creation! Good luck on your new adventure. Once you've had a few successes, and others appreciate them, your confidence will encourage you to go further and further. One of my students didn't even know how to toast bread. You should see her now, whipping up party food for kids, and full course meals for adults!

This is what kids should be eating at their school cafeterias in USA. Nutritious, delicious, inexpensive and compatible with different dietary choices. Instead they get pizza where the tomato sauce counts as a vegetable!

[@kpsalm]

I'm Swedish but my parents are from Chile and they have cooked this for me. So this delicious dish is not only enjoyed in Spain but also in Latin America 😊

[@viktoriagoo135]

In Germany, too, I always thought this is THE typical german stew ;)

[@kirbyculp3449]

Seems like a standard bowl of soup. Given the universal appeal, no doubt is tasty and affordable.

[@Felipe-td1fm]

I'm chilean too and yeah, this stew is all over Latinamerica, I think its all a joint effort over time, for instance, potatoes and peppers are native from Latinamerica, they didn't exist anywhere else for a long time, but there were no lentils in America until the europeans arrived; carrots on the other hand, are native from Iran/Afghanistan. The stew just keep evolving over centuries.

[@farticlesofconflatulation]

My Mexican mother also makes a similar stew.

[@Felipe-td1fm]

@OneLoveDre in Europe, nationality and culture goes by blood, in America is by soil, since we're all super mixed, but you can get a 2nd nationality if your parents or grandparents are from europe or something like that

I made this tonight May 11, 2023. My wife and I LOVED IT. The hardest part in preparing this delicious recipe is peeling the carrots and potatoes. I will definitely make this again.

[@SpainonaFork]

[@drunkvegangal8089]

If you scrub the potatoes really well there is no need to peel them; lots of fiber and nutrients (esp. antioxidants) in the peels. I only peel my spuds when serving company and never for family ;)

[@josemanuelcobo644]

Another excellent recipe. I really like that when you do something in a particular way, you always explain why. Another thing I love about your videos is that you always give exact ingredient measures and cooking times, which is important when trying a recipe for the first time. Later you can always fine-tune them to your particular taste.

[@SpainonaFork]

That's great! Much love :)

[@gaiaiulia]

This looks, delicious. I will definitely try it. PS, If lentils/beans give you flatulence, use a good pinch of asafoetida (hing in Hindi) during the cooking. You can buy it online or in an Asian food store if you're near one. I use it all the time when cooking Indian lentil or bean dishes.

[@nessy2000]

Good advice. However, if, instead of eating meat, you ate more legumes, your intestines would not act up. It's the things you rarely eat that make gas.

[@johnjohng668]

I like to add a little red wine when it is cooking. I have used celery in this recipe as well. I have used a hamhock for more flavor. When finished, I top it off with parsley, olive oil, sea salt, and a dollop of sour cream on top. Exquisite!

[@magdalenam3737]

That is American style. Nothing like the Spanish version!

[@benjaminkenobi21]

@@magdalenam3737 It also tastes better. Also, it's silly to say it's "nothing" like the Spanish version, when it's literally the same soup with a few added ingredients to make it taste better. Folks get really defensive about recipes, and oddly enough it seems to be when somebody improves on them.

[@magdalenam3737]

@@benjaminkenobi21 not being defensive I just know from living in the USA and being born in Spain that the flavors in both recipes are very different. This channel is about Spanish food so i wanted to state the obvious...if you are going for Spanish flavor add chorizo and follow the traditional methods as were outlined in this channel's recipe. Many ways to make them and many ways will be delicious.

[@chardros]

In Spain we have another version with chorizo and serrano ham chunks (be careful with salt then) and some red wine too, so is not that different. You can change the hamhock for chorizo next time if you want to give it a try. We make two different versions at home indeed. One with vegetables only without wine and with a little bit of vinegar in the end once in the plate and the one with chorizo and red wine and without vinegar. I don't know if these two versions are from different places in Spain or one of them is the Easter version, as it was not allowed to eat meat.

[@stevendorsey4882]

I lived in Spain for two years long ago, 1980-1982. I spent most of my time in Andalucia (southern Spain) and the Canary Islands. One fond memory of the 9 months I spent living in Sevilla with friends, was our nearly daily lunch trek to a small bar/cafe for a quick, cheap, deliciious lunch. The menu was limited, and when we entered the waiter frequently shouted, "Hoy hay lentejas y ensalada," or "Today we have lentils and salad," and that was always music to our ears. Love this lentil stew and I continue to cook it to this day, along with a frequent Spanish tortilla or paella. Love the food of Spain!

Lentejas is my favourite starter here in Murcia but I’ve never seen a vegetarian version as shown here. They always add chunks of chorizo and lardons of jamon or bacon to the recipe. Whatever your choice, it’s delicious.

[@georgezee5173]

I'm from Murcia myself and, as you pointed out, I've never seen a veggie version of the dish. Only in canned food. Maybe it's something from other regions of Spain... Personally, I love my lentejas with chorizo, very fatty bacon and pork ribs (the latter is the best part of the dish for me, so tender and full of flavour). No need to say that lentejas is actually my all-time favourite dish xD

[@Xiroi87]

Lentejas viudas or lentejas estofadas, no meats added, maybe more common in Central Spain.

Interesting dish. I m greek and we have a similar dish but we keep it simple. We boil the lentils once , throw the first foaming water , we boil again and we add a little oil , onion , a little garlic and one-two laurel leaves. At the end five minutes before removing from fire we add origanum ( it gets bitter if cooked a lot) and finally some virgin olive oil , after removing from fire. The taste is amazing since you feel the taste of lentils not disguised by the variety of vegetables with the final touch of origanum. You eat with a food home-style bread and maybe some olives and you are in heaven...

As always - a nice recipe and an interesting, Mediterranean variant. I love lentil stew, but my German variant differs in nuances. I use "Mirepoix" instead of peppers and tomatoes. In addition to salt, pepper, laurel, clove and cinnamon are used as spices. This is then bound with dark "Roux". In the south of Germany, lentil stew is often eaten with spaetzle (a type of pasta) and sausages. However, I would omit the potatoes

If I see your lentil and chickpeas and beans recipes oh man its very comforting and where I come from we have similar dishes. And to finish it up I grow up with using saffron in certain dishes.

Sounds great! Much love :)

Bravo, this is a classic Spanish dish. You forgot one thing though - add a glug of olive oil before serving and serve with good bread. Dishes like this clearly have their origins with poverty but can become wonderful with additional ingredients like the ones in the video. Pork and/or chorizo is often added but.....I once made the Italian version of this with the best lentils in the world (Norcia) and added the traditional wild boar sausage. The lentils were so delicious that the tasty sausage wasn't necessary. Get the best lentils you can afford because they absorb flavour like a sponge. A cheap simple but great ingredient which could easily help with the problem of food poverty in countries like the U.K if people could cook dishes like this one.

Ironically, this humble recipe is way healthier than much of what people eat nowadays in many parts of the world.

[@welshtoro3256]

@@montesierra717 Totally agree. It's delicious, healthy and affordable. These ingredients are, as you say, very humble. It's not a recipe that has to be followed by the letter either. You can add or remove some elements of it.

Lentejas and other staples used to be cheaper now they are becoming expensive because of demand (in average Lentejas $3, Garbanzos $3.5 and Habas $3.75 dollar per kg respectively, as reference good beef $6 dollar/kg) in this part of the world.

I made this recipe about a year ago when I my bf and I had Covid. Luckily I didn’t lose my sense of taste. This dish was soooo comforting, tasty, easy! I’m rewatching because I’m about to make it again lol. Thank you so much from Hawaii! ☀️🌴🌊
