Steps

1 hour
  1. 1

    For the lentils:
    After rinsing the lentils thoroughly, cook them in water with a little Maggi bouillon.
    Meanwhile, dice the potato and carrot, then add them to the lentils once they start to soften.

  2. 2

    In a separate skillet, sauté onions and tomato. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add this mixture to the lentils once they are tender. Make plenty of this sauté to add to the lentils and reserve half for the meatballs.

  3. 3

    For the meatballs:
    In a bowl, season the ground beef to your taste. I used fine herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and one egg.

  4. 4

    Shape the meat mixture into small balls, coat them in flour, and add them to the skillet with the reserved sauté. Let them simmer, adding a little water so the sauce doesn't dry out and the meatballs cook through. Cover and cook for another 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve and enjoy this delicious Colombian dish.
    Serve with white rice and avocado.
