Method
- In a pressure cooker, put the lentils, the whole chorizo, the blood sausage and the pork ribs.
- Add the washed potatoes cut into cubes and the washed carrots cut into rounds.
CiberCuba - If you wish, add the pepper cut into pieces; if not, reserve it for the sofrito. Cover all ingredients with water.
- Cover the pot and place over medium heat until pressure is reached. Then lower the heat and let cook for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat the oil or lard. Add the onion cut into brunoise and the crushed garlic.
- Incorporate the pepper cut into small cubes and let cook until everything starts to release its juices.
- Add the tomato sauce, stir well and let cook over low heat for a few minutes, stirring the sofrito frequently.
CiberCuba - Remove the pressure cooker from the heat, open it and check the doneness of the lentils: they should be tender, but not too soft.
- Check the amount of broth and, if you wish, add a little more water. Stir well so it does not stick to the sides of the pot and season with salt, cumin and pepper to your taste.
- Add the sofrito, stir well and let cook with the pot half covered for 5 to 10 minutes more, until the lentils reach the density you like. Stir often so they do not stick to the bottom.
- Before serving, cut the chorizo and blood sausage into pieces. Serve the lentils very hot. Enjoy!
