Steps:

- Add the lentils and cover with the hot water. Season the lentils with salt and and simmer with the lid on for about 40 minutes, preventing the liquid from boiling as the lentils will split. Shake the pan now and again to thicken the liquid.

Steps:
- Make sure you prepare this in the morning and leave it bubbling away for at least 8 hours (make sure you don't leave it unattended and follow the guidelines of your slow-cooker). You can do this even if you don't have a slow-cooker but use a fairly big deep-bottomed saucepan or casserole pot and leave on a low heat setting for at least 3 hours.
- 1. Prepare all veggies and chop into about inch size pieces or bigger if you like (I prefer big chunks).
- 2. Prepare the tomatoes as above.
- 3. Chop the stewing beef into inch size pieces, you don't really want them much bigger as they will go chewy and not soft.
- 4. Chop the chorizo sausages as above into cm size slices.
- 5. place all ingredients (except the gravy granules and worcester sauce) into your slow cooker along with the water or vegetable stock and turn on as per guidelines. Leave until it comes to the boil and when it starts to simmer add the gravy granules and worcester sauce. Leave bubbling away for approx 8 hours (3 hours if not using a slow cooker) and then serve. be careful as can be very hot!

Tips:
- Use good quality chorizo: The chorizo is the star of the show in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chorizo that is firm and has a deep red color. Spicy Spanish chorizo is typically made with pork, smoked paprika, garlic, and salt. If you can't find spicy Spanish chorizo, you can use Mexican chorizo instead, but it will have a different flavor.
- Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the stew helps to develop their flavor and caramelize them slightly. This gives the stew a richer and more complex flavor.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is another important ingredient in this stew, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is flavorful and has a good body. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth, depending on your preference.
- Season the stew to taste: Once the stew is finished cooking, taste it and season it with salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for extra spice.
- Serve the stew with your favorite sides: This stew can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or bread. It's also great served with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Spicy Spanish chorizo stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give this stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
