Ingredients

Method

In shallow Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat; cook chorizo until brown, about 3 minutes.

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.
