Lentajas

One lunchtime in Granada, I had the most delicious Spanish lentils. You know when you order something at a restaurant and you have a taste in your mind - well, these lentils were exactly as I had tasted them in my imagination - very yummy.
Tonight I was in just the right frame of mind to try and capture that taste again. Yesterday I had bought some chorizo sausage and I already had the lentils in the pantry, so tonight was the night. Apart from needing just a little more salt, the resulting stew was just right. Tastes and smells surely do bring back memories!

You've nailed a good point in tastes and smells that will certainly bring back memories :) Those little things. I bet you can still remember how Spain smells like. Glad that you enjoyed your trip!
