This is ideal for the big family and these ingredients will do for 6 people.

It is my friend Diana’s recipe and is very yummy.

• 185g brown lentils – Soak for 2 hours
• 30grams of bacon or ham – sliced
• 3 – 4 large chopped tomatoes
• stick of celery cut into bits
• 1 large onion finely sliced
• several cloves of garlic
• Bacon or ham fat for frying (go the cholestrol)
• Salt and pepper
• Parsley and mint

Method:

Fry onion in fat.  I prefer oil myself

Add tomatoes, garlic and celery.

After 10 minutes add strained lentils and mix well so that they absorb the fat.

Season with salt and pepper.

Cover with 31/2 (three and one half) pints of water and cook fairly fast for 1 hour.

Add little pasta and cook

Check the salt

Enjoy.
