3 Potatoes

Broth
1 pinch of Bay leaf
1 pinch of Ground chili
1 pinch of Parsley
1 pinch of Oregano

Preparation
Step 1 : If the lentils have not been soaked beforehand, it is advisable to place them in boiling water to soften.
Step 2 : Meanwhile, prepare the meat by cutting it into small cubes.
Step 3 : Dredge these meat cubes in flour and brown them in a pot with a little oil, ensuring they are well sealed.
Step 4 : Once the meat is browned, add a little wine to the same pot, helping to lift the flavors from the bottom and enrich the taste of the stew.
Step 5 : Next, add the sliced red chorizo and pancetta, letting them brown along with the meat.
Step 6 : Then, add the chopped vegetables: onion, garlic, bell peppers, and carrot.
Step 7 : It is important to let the vegetables cook together with the meats, pouring in a bit more wine if necessary, to enhance the flavors.
Step 8 : Season with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, parsley, oregano, and add the tomato purée.
Step 9 : Cook everything over low heat for about an hour and thirty minutes, allowing the flavors to meld well.
Step 10 : When the lentils are tender, add the cubed potatoes, which were previously baked with olive oil, salt, and pepper to give them a crispy touch.
Step 11 : Before serving, place the potatoes on top of the stew on the plates, providing a contrast of textures that enriches each bite.
