Instructions
- Weigh out the brown lentils the evening before, rinse well and allow to swell overnight with approx. 600g of water. Strain the lentils and put them in a casserole with 400g of the spring water. DO NOT cook yet!
- Cut the smoked meat into small cubes. Cap the onions and garlic cloves at both ends, peel and cut into small pieces. Heat the sunflower oil in a sufficiently large pan, add the bacon cubes and roast until they are fragrant. Add the onions and garlic cloves and roast until the onions are translucent.
- Deglaze with the spring water from the pot and add the fried food to the lentils. Let the lentils boil in the spring water together with the spices for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, wash the potatoes, peel them, cut in half lengthways, halves lengthways and quarter them across. Wash the fresh, red peppers, remove the stem, cut in half lengthways, unfold, core and cut the halves crosswise into thin threads from above. Wash and peel the fresh ginger. Grate the required amount on a fine grater. Weigh and thaw frozen goods.
- Add the prepared vegetables and simmer for another 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, fresh from the mill. Spread on the serving bowls, garnish and serve with toasted white bread and enjoy.
