Three main varieties of lentils are grown in Spain. We have available for you the most prized: tiny brown 'Puy' lentils (pardinas).

These lentils are unique because they retain their shape, and have a distinct flavor. The other two varieties, big fat green castellanas and medium brown ones, cook almost to a purée.

Because our artisan quality lentils are super-dried to preserve their full flavor and retain their shape, they require overnight soaking.

Pardinas lentils are the ideal foundation for a pot of classic Lentejas con Chorizo, a favorite hearty stew from Spain.   (more info)

Each bag comes with an authentic recipe. Attached to many of the sacks will be a Beachwood spoon, which is a gift to you from the Salvadores family, who founded El Maragato. It is crafted by handicapped people in their village.

To prepare traditional Lentejas con Chorizo, you will also need some pimentón smoked paprika, some jamón serrano, chorizo, and olive oil. You can find all of these ingredients at La Tienda.  (less info)
