Hi,

I am not too sure about the rice, but there is another tapas restaurant in Temple Bar that you could ask advice from - La Paloma. I would also try Fallon & Byrne (Dublin 2), Harvey Nichols food hall (in Dundrum) and Avoca Handweavers food hall (Dublin 2).

As regards the lentils, are Spanish lentils not just your normal brown lentils that you can get in supermarkets and health food shops here? I know in Spain they are more particular about what region they come from, but I am almost positive they are the same basic type.

I just had a big bowl of lentejas for my lunch, and they were yum, so best of luck hunting!
