Cover in a pot the lentils with cold water, and put them over a high heat along with the chorizo, the tomato, the carrot, the green pepper, the leek and the bay. Add salt, and a little powdered clove.

Once it begins to boil put the cooking of lentils to simmer. When they are almost tender, in a separately frying pan stir-fry the finely minced onion and next add the garlic until brown, also minced.

Once this is done, add the paprika and without letting it fry, add the sauce to the lentils.

Optionally if we like the broth a little thicker it can be added, once the stew is almost complete, the purée of a few lentils with tomato, pumpkin and leek. To serve, remove the bay leaves, and cut the chorizo into slices.
