A subtly spiced stew makes a tasty bed for crisp-edged fried eggs.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 oz chorizo sausage, diced
- 2/3 cup each finely chopped onion, celery and carrot
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 3 cups sodium-reduced chicken broth
- 1 cup dry green lentils
- 1 ca (14 oz/398 mL) diced tomatoes, drained
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
- 4 eggs, fried
Preparation
Stir in onion, celery, carrot and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in cumin, cayenne pepper and cinnamon for 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste until dry.
Add chicken broth, lentils, tomatoes and 1 cup (250 mL) water; bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until lentils are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with coriander. Serve with fried eggs.
