Steps

1

Soak the lentils in water for about 2 hours. Place them in a pressure cooker with a quarter of the onion, two garlic cloves, and a bit of coarse salt. Cook for about 10 minutes after the cooker reaches pressure.
2

Finely chop the remaining quarter onion. Cut the bacon, bell peppers, and potatoes into small cubes.
3

In a large skillet, cook the bacon with the onion. If needed, add a little olive oil. Cook until the onion is translucent. Add the bell peppers and potatoes and sauté for a few minutes.
4

Dice the tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Stir well, cover, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cooked lentils and bring everything to a boil. Adjust salt to taste and remove from heat.
