Exotic puree with lentils

The safest thing is that we are used to cooking the same ingredients with the same recipe. Perhaps because of what they like at home like this or because we know that this way the recipe is embroidered. But sometimes it's okay to turn our vision around and try new things. This is precisely what I propose with this recipe.

In my house a couple of times a week they cook vegetables and, obviously, the lentils they are present. So this time I have cooked them differently with the sole purpose that they do not bore us.

The result has been a puree with a very spicy flavoror. It may not be very suitable for families with small children, but it is for people who like to try everything.

Of course, I encourage you to prepare this recipe, especially if you want to surprise someone. In addition, as usually happens with creams, it can be prepared with in advance. This simple gesture will make it much easier for us to organize the week's menu.
