Instructions

1 In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and three cups of water over
medium-high heat.
2 Bring to a boil, decrease the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 25 minutes,
or until the lentils are just tender but not at all mushy.
3 Meanwhile, add the walnut pieces, sun-dried tomatoes, paprika, garlic powder,
coriander, oregano, cumin, thyme, sea salt, and cayenne pepper, and cinnamon to
the bowl of a large food processor.
4 Once the lentils are ready, strain off any excess water and add them to the bowl
of the food processor, too.
5 Pulse several times, or until the sun-dried tomatoes and walnuts are finely
chopped and the mixture resembles a moist crumble.
6 Serve the chorizo on its own, in salads, or in tacos, burritos, tamales, etc.
