Swabian lentils

Combine lentils, water, finely chopped onion, diced garlic clove, salt, and two slices of smoked bacon in a saucepan, cover, and simmer gently until softened. Cooking time: approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Make a light roux from the fat and flour, pour in the lentil broth, and add to the lentils. Bring back to a boil briefly, then season with salt, pepper, and vinegar. Spätzle, sausages, and the bacon cooked with the meat make a great side dish!
