00:00Here's the wonderful dish we're making today. A classic dish that's always a hit.
00:06And let me tell you, it costs just 2 euros per person, or 4 euros, if there are 4 of
00:13you.
00:13Look how easy it is, buddy! Some homemade lentils with chorizo and bacon, ready in 20 minutes, and they're a
00:21real treat for the senses.
00:23Add a little flavor to your daily routine, your guests will thank you for it.
00:28Is it possible to prepare a delicious meal for 2 euros for 2 people?
00:33I'm telling you the answer is a definite yes. And I'll add that you can make it in 20 minutes.
00:38So if you have unexpected guests, there you go. Just go for traditional stews, homemade lentils, delicious.
00:47Let's get started. I'm Vidi, and this is Grandma's Kitchen. So here we go.
00:51We start the recipe by making a wonderful sofrito with half a pepper, half an onion, and a clove of
00:58garlic.
00:59We finely chop the onion.
01:02When it comes to chopping the vegetables, I like the onion to be chopped very small, so it disappears into
01:07the stew.
01:08But I like to find the pieces of pepper, which also look great visually.
01:12It's up to you how you want to do it.
01:17As I mentioned, the pepper in larger pieces looks amazing.
01:22And now we move on to the garlic, which we want to chop very finely.
01:27There we go. In about 30 seconds we have everything chopped, and we move on to a pot with a
01:33splash of olive oil.
01:34Into the pot, we add the onion, we add the pepper, we add the garlic, and now we add a
01:42pinch of salt, so it softens, so it cooks really well and really fast.
01:48Medium heat, stir occasionally, and you'll have it ready in no time.
01:52Now let's move on to the potatoes. With two of these, that's enough for me.
01:56Here I go. I'm going to cut them into pieces, and this is a piece of cake.
02:01As for the potatoes, I'm not giving you a choice. I want them in small pieces, because if they're too
02:07big, they won't cook in 20 minutes, and it'll be a flop.
02:11So pay attention to the company.
02:13As soon as the onion starts to get soft, we add the potatoes to the pot, because we don't have
02:18time to spare, and we need to get this recipe going, give it a little stir, and go get the
02:23next star ingredient, which is none other.
02:25What more than the paprika? In my case, sweet paprika. But if you're a daring guy, you can use hot
02:34paprika, or both.
02:35With a teaspoon, pay attention, because in 15 seconds, it burns. So add it, stir, and right away, go get
02:45some water or meat broth if you have it.
02:47But water works great too. And add it until it covers everything.
02:51This will lower the temperature, so the paprika won't burn, and it's going to turn out wonderfully.
02:59Medium heat. We keep cooking, and now we're going to start getting our cured meats ready.
03:05Since the recipe is for just a couple of bucks, we're going to use one chorizo and a piece of
03:11bacon or pork belly.
03:13We cut it into four pieces, because in my case, it's for four people.
03:18If in your case, it's for two people, you use half, and you're good to go.
03:23Here I go. I like it like this, with the white part mixed with the meat.
03:28See, there it is. Super tasty. Each big piece for each guest. And the chorizo, same thing. We cut it
03:37into four pieces.
03:38It should be a bit cured, not too raw. That's the one that works best. And the sausage, ready.
03:43Chorizo and pork belly, an unbeatable combination. But if you want to add something else, I'll tell you that boiled
03:50eggs compliment, and go well with this recipe.
03:53Wonderful. More vegetables, of course. Some carrots, a bit of green pepper, whatever you want. It takes almost anything.
04:02I even have a crazy friend who adds sausages, frankfurters. I've never tried it.
04:08What do you think of the idea? Let me know in the comments if I get a lot.
04:13I'll make it with sausages. Let's see how it turns out.
04:17Well, you guessed it. The cured meat goes into the pot. And now, let's start the stew.
04:2420 minutes, on medium heat, covered. Although, I leave a little gap open, so some of the steam can escape.
04:33As for the cured meats, there are two options. You can put them in whole and cut them up later,
04:38once the stew is done.
04:40Or you can do it like I do. Cut them into pieces, so you already have them divided.
04:45And also, the chorizo will release that flavor, that fat, that smoky taste we like so much during cooking.
04:53So, I have no doubts, I want it chopped up. Even my grandmother used to chop everything into small pieces
04:59like this, and it turned out really good.
05:01But this is how I do it.
05:03Next ingredient, a jar of lentils that will allow us to finish the recipe in 20 minutes, just like we
05:10wanted.
05:13So, here they are. It's as easy as taking off the lid and pouring them into a strainer to get
05:20rid of that weird canning liquid.
05:22Which I really don't like at all. Even though they say you can eat it without any problem.
05:27Don't take any chances, just give them a quick rinse.
05:30I turn to canned goods. Those canned goods that get us out of so many tight spots.
05:36But if you want to make it with lentils, regular lentils that aren't canned, use Pardina lentils.
05:42You just have to rinse them with water and then put them in a pressure cooker, and in about 20
05:46minutes, they'll be ready too.
05:48Come on, don't complain. Let's go. It'll take you about 10 seconds more or less.
05:52Under running water, so the lentils come out perfect without that foam that doesn't look good at all.
06:00As soon as 15 minutes of cooking have passed, we add the lentils, we stir, don't stir too much, or
06:07they might get smashed.
06:08Healthy, nutritious, easy to prepare, unbeatable legumes. Are they your favorite? No?
06:15Let me know in the comments. I'll read them. I love them, honestly, these ones.
06:20And since I'm from Asturias, I also love Asturian fabes. What about you?
06:25Which ones do you like? Let me know in the comments, and I'll look for dishes with those legumes. Let's
06:31go.
06:31We add water until it's covered, and here we're going to finish the stew.
06:38Honestly, it already looks good. The lentils cook super fast because they're canned, and in about 20 minutes, this will
06:46be wonderful.
06:47Adjust the salt. I'm going to add just a little, but if you like things salty, you can add a
06:53bit more. It's no problem.
06:54Cover it, and cook for the remaining 5 minutes. Once the time is up, the pot is there getting ready,
07:01and you're there watching the video.

07:37It should look like this. Wow, it looks amazing. And that's all there is to it.
