Ingredientes
450 gr lentils

200 ml white wine
1 c.p. teaspoon salt
Half teaspoon ground black pepper
1 c.p. teaspoon rosemary

Pasos
- Cut the carrot into slices and the rest of the vegetables into small pieces. Next, cut the sausages into slices and drain and wash the lentils.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the vegetables, bacon, sausages, half a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are golden brown, approximately 6 minutes (depending on the power of the fire).
- Add the ham and lentils to the pan. Stir well and add the wine.
- Let the wine reduce and then add 300 grams of water, half a teaspoon of salt and the rosemary.
- Cook until there is little broth left and then taste for salt. If necessary, adjust seasoning and cook for 1 minute more. If not, serve on plates and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with a little parsley before serving.
Notas
- It is important to use lentils that do not require pre-soaking, otherwise they will need about 8-12 hours of soaking before starting this recipe.
- Using smoked bacon can add extra flavor and depth to the dish.
- The Italian bell pepper can be replaced with green or red bell pepper, depending on personal preference. >
- A little minced garlic can be added to give the dish a more robust flavor.
- Make sure not to add too much salt at the beginning, as both ham and bacon are usually quite salty.
