About Lentejas cocidas
Lentejas Cocidas, or cooked lentils, are a staple in Spanish and Latin American cuisine known for their versatility and nutritional benefits. This hearty dish typically consists of lentils simmered with vegetables such as carrots, onions, garlic, and tomatoes, and sometimes includes olive oil, spices like paprika or cumin, and occasionally chorizo or ham for added flavor. Lentils are rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, folate, and potassium, making them an excellent choice for balanced nutrition. They support heart health, aid digestion, and help maintain stable energy levels. While highly nutritious, versions with processed meats may be higher in sodium and saturated fats, so preparation methods can influence its health impact. Whether enjoyed as a stew, side dish, or salad, Lentejas Cocidas is a wholesome and flavorful addition to any meal.
