    Loved this, added garlic and a red chillie instead of dried flakes. It had a real kick but was a firm favourite. I'm going to try adding chopped toms next time. A complete winner!

    Very tasty. I added an extra handful of the lentils, some chicken from the Sunday roast, squeeze of "lazy" garlic and juice of half a lemon. Essential with some nice crusty bread from the deli. Very nice indeed on a cold winter's night

    I made this last night and it was absolutely delicious! I made extra for lunches today but myself and my boyfriend ended up having seconds last night! I didn't fry the chorizo in oil as it does produce enough oil itself and I added garlic and a birdseye chilli instead of chilli flakes as I like things hot! Will make again very soon!
