Bacon AND chorizo? And with enough veggies to plausibly be healthy? Another worthwhile one crowdsourced from here...
Recipe
4 slices bacon, chopped
5-6 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
4 oz chorizo
1 c rice
1 c lentils
4 c water
1 c tomato sauce
cumin, paprika
oil, salt & pepper
Start with your bacon in some oil and crisp it up; you can take it out or not and add the onion, carrot, garlic, and spices, then green pepper, then the chorizo. Once the meat is cooked through, add the rice, lentils, and water and simmer until soft. Stir in the tomato sauce and let the flavors meld.
Notes
Don't know how necessary the bacon really was, but can't complain. I used the end of my packages of lentils and rice - more like 3/4 c - and a whole pack of chorizo - 4x the recommended amount?! So mine was much meatier than the original version. Very tasty, and awesome left over!
