Put the lentils in a large saucepan, pour in enough boiling water to cover them generously, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until just tender. Do not over cook. Drain well. Sweat the onions in the olive oil until translucent; add the chorizo, and garlic, stir for about 5 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, cinnamon and chili, stir to let the spices heat up in the pan, just long enough to release their aroma. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, tomato paste and the stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper and lemon juice to taste.
