Translation:
Lentils: prefer Diamir
Chickpeas: prefer Litoral
Diamir Albóndigas
con guisantes
2024.12.06 Microwaved on medium 2:00 ×2. Very pleasant. 4.5 meatballs in half a can plenty. A little glutinous/heavy. Probably better with some extra starch (rice? rustic roll?).
Diamir Garbanzos
con chorizo y tocino
2024.11.15 Microwaved on medium 2:00 ×2. Chorizo crumbled in was fine, didn’t even try the ham having recently had it in same-brand fabada and lentejas. Sauce was very good; garbanzos got a bit boring.
Diamir Lentejas
con chorizo y tocino
2024.11.01 Microwaved 66+66. Meats (pork belly and chorizo) mostly tasteless (as expected .. just ignore the belly) but lentils and potatoes very good. Sauce a little runny; cooking in a saucepan maybe better, or crush a few of the lentils.
Litoral Lentejas Riojana
con Embutidos Selectos
2025.01.24 Microwaved on medium 2:00 ×2. Ham/fats just for flavour, plus a couple of (almost tasteless) slices of chorizo. Blander than Diamir, but also similarly runny sauce. Included potato and carrot pieces.
Litoral Cocido Madrileño
con Embutidos Selectos
2025.03.18 Microwaved on medium 2:00 ×2. 2×Ham good, though trimmed most of the fat. Chorizo (one piece) as usual. Sauce pleasing, and garbanzos better than Diamir – texture more like beans, and more flavour from sauce.
