Spanish Lentils Stew, or "Lentejas," is a hearty and nutritious dish rooted in Spanish cuisine. This flavorful stew typically includes lentils simmered with aromatic vegetables like onions, carrots, and garlic, often combined with potatoes, tomatoes, and spices such as paprika and bay leaves. Variations may include chorizo or ham for added depth, though vegetarian versions are also popular. Lentils are a fantastic source of plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and folate, making this dish highly beneficial for digestion and energy levels. It’s naturally low in fat, especially if made without meat, and can be adapted for various dietary needs. However, the sodium content can be elevated when using cured meats or stock, so mindful preparation is key. Warm and filling, Spanish Lentils Stew is a healthy comfort food that merges tradition with nourishment.
