I'm not a fan of mushrooms, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, and my family loved it.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chorizo and sausage are always cooked perfectly, and the lentils add a nice heartiness to the meal.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. The chorizo was a bit dry, and the lentils were mushy.
