That is a simple to cook dinner dish which tastes nice as a result of it incorporates bacon (nicely, duh!). Clearly, it shouldn’t be repeated too actually because it incorporates bacon (nicely, duh!).
You want:
- Rice (strictly talking, you don’t want this)
- Inexperienced lentils (I choose inexperienced lentils as a result of they maintain their form higher for this, however different lentils work nicely too. I often inventory pink and inexperienced.)
- Bacon (you’ll be able to substitute this with any form of fats for cooking)
- Onion
Prepare dinner the rice. I take advantage of my strain cooker with which I’ve an extended standing relationship(*). I take advantage of rice to water at a 2/3 ratio. I take advantage of a ingesting glass to measure. 1 glass of rice and 1.5 glasses of water. I let it rip till max strain has been reached. Then I swap it off. Very straightforward, by no means burns.
(*). I’ve recognized my strain cooker longer than DW, truly. Hey, I even wrote a tribute to my strain cooker; looking back, I’ve but to put in writing a tribute to DW—I hope she’s not studying this.
I take advantage of a deep forged iron pan like this one (we acquired it as a marriage current) to fry the bacon. Right here I simply get a standard pack of bacon and minimize of an inch which makes for 8 items or so. This turns into the grease (and the eventual coronary heart assault). Because the bacon fries, I chop and onion. This goes on high as soon as the bacon is finished. As soon as the onion is clear and barely brown, I dumb the lentils on high. I’d estimate a few cups, perhaps extra(*). I cowl these with water. I then flip down the gasoline and let the water soak up. Put the lid on. Verify each 5 minutes and add water so it doesn’t burn. After 20 minutes, style the lentils. Maintain going till they’re gentle. When they’re gentle, take the lid off and the let the remaining water evaporate off.
(*) You actually have limitless freedom with the lentil to onion to bacon ratio. The extra bacon, the higher it’ll style, and the earlier you’ll have a coronary coronary heart failure 
Eat the lentils with the rice which ought to be finished by now. You possibly can minimize any type greens, tomato, cucumber, lettuce on high of this. Works nicely with soy sauce.
