• 1 - Prepare Lentils:
  Rinse the brown lentils under cold water until water runs clear. Set aside.
• 2 - Sauté Aromatics:
  Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté until soft and fragrant.
• 3 - Cook Chorizo:
  Add sliced smoked chorizo to the pot and cook until it renders fat and gains color.
• 4 - Add Tomato and Spices:
  Stir in tomato paste, smoked paprika, bay leaf, salt, and pepper; cook stirring for 2 minutes to meld flavors.
• 5 - Simmer Lentils:
  Add rinsed lentils and beef broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer until lentils are tender, about 55-60 minutes.
• 6 - Final seasoning:
  Remove bay leaf. Taste stew and adjust salt and pepper accordingly.
• 7 - Serve:
  Ladle the guiso into serving bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
