    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    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...

    I’ve been craving lentil soup and I bumped into your channel miraculously. Ive seen you on TV also and love your recipes. Anyway, I followed your recipe with the exception of the vegetable broth so I substituted with with chicken broth. The lentils cooked in 25 minutes and they were wonderfully tasting. This is definitely my go to recipe. Thank you for sharing 😊

    I just love when people promote their homeland cooking the way you do. It’s all about love and sharing. Lentils are amazing, in France we have the "Petit salé aux lentilles" which is a great classic but takes way more time to prepare and cook (and won’t be suited for veggetarians or people who won’t eat porc I’m afraid), I will try your spanish recipe asap 😋

    I made this for the first time over the weekend and it was so easy (and oddly satisfying). When I tried it straight away I thought it was a little bland until I added some salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil. But when I had the leftovers yesterday it was delicious and didn't need any extra seasoning. 10/10 will make again. Thanks for another wonderful recipe, Albert.

I am not vegan, so I used chicken stock instead of veg. and a house tomato/marinara beacuse I make it every year and keep frozen cubes all year long, vs sauce, added fresh tomatoes too, with a dash of redwine vinegar and oilve oil on top prior to serving. This is one of the easiest to make, and your directions are easy to folllow. Thanks again.

What I love about your recipes is that they are simple and many are veg recipes! Thanks for including those recipes as well! I made the white bean stew yesterday! It was nice and simple and it felt so healthy, but still delicious! I did add a half of potato though for some extra, since we didn’t have rice. Best

    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.

I usually just add brown lentils to my turkey soup. To my knowledge, my Spanish grandmother never made a lentil dish. We have no handed down recipes. (She did cook a lot of garbanzos.)

    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
