Lentejas Chilenas Recipes

SOPA DE LENTEJAS (ANDALUCIAN LENTIL SOUP)

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the bacon just until it starts to brown a bit, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the olive oil, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, sausage, and bay leaf; cook about 4 minutes. Add lentils and water (water should be about an inch deeper than the level of the lentils). Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Put the potatoes into the soup and continue simmering until potatoes are cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

CHILEAN-STYLE LENTILS

Steps:

• Place lentils in medium saucepan. Add water and bouillon cube; stir. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 30 min. or just until lentils are tender.
• Meanwhile, heat dressing in medium skillet on medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions; cook and stir 6 min. or until vegetables are tender. Spoon into medium serving bowl; set aside.
• Add lentils to vegetable mixture along with the ham and cilantro; mix lightly. Top with the eggs; sprinkle with cheese.

• Coloca las lentejas en una cacerola mediana. Agrega el agua y el cubito de caldo; mézclalo. Pon el fuego a temperatura media-alta hasta que hierva. Reduce el fuego a medio-bajo; mantén un hervor suave por 30 minutos o hasta que las lentejas estén tiernas.
• Calienta el aderezo, mientras tanto, en una sartén mediana a fuego medio-alto. Agrega el pimiento y la cebolla; revuelve y cocina los vegetales durante 6 minutos o hasta que estén tiernos. Usa una cuchara y viértelos en un tazón mediano de servir; ponlos a un lado.
• Agrega las lentejas, el jamón y el cilantro a la mezcla de vegetales; revuélvela con cuidado. Ponle los huevos por encima y espolvoréala con el queso.
