Slow Cooker Chorizo and Lentils
I have a serious confession for today’s recipe. I have been working hard to take better photos of my dishes. You eat with your eyes as well as your mouth (wait… mental image…. yikes… but you know what I mean.) and I really wanted to make the dishes look more appealing.
However.
There is no way that this dish can be photographed without looking a bit… well… like poo. It is the nature of the dish. And rather than make you recoil at the sight of it, I opted for the text based photo.
But you really may love the dish. Its super tasty and unbelievably easy. And it has exactly 4 ingredients. Maybe 5 if you add boullion in place of stock. And its a set it and forget it type of meal. Perfect for busy days, and hot days when you don’t want to heat the kitchen.
I serve mine with rice, so I guess that’s 6 ingredients, but still.
You can use a slow cooker, or if you forget to take the sausage out of the freezer like I do (a lot), you can also use an Instant Pot and cook on the Manual setting for 30 minutes. Then let it manually depressurize about 15 minutes.
Its really, really a good filling meal and I think you’ll enjoy it if you just give it a chance!
- 4-5 chorizo sausages
- 1 cup lentils
- 3 cup chicken broth
- 1 med onion, diced
-
Dice your onion into whatever size you like. This will be a slow cooker meal, so they will be tender regardless.
-
Place lentils in slow cooker, followed by broth (or water and boullion), onion, and top with chorizo sausage.
-
Cook in slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours. Alternately, if you are using frozen sausage, place in instant pot and cook on manual for 30 minutes, letting it depressurize manually.
-
Serve with rice and enjoy!
