Steps

1

Boil the lentils for a couple of minutes and set them aside for half an hour. Then, discard the water and rinse them.
2

Put some fresh water in the pot, add 1 bay leaf, a little rosemary, salt, the lentils and let them boil until they are tender (about 20 minutes).
3

Strain them keeping the water. Use this water to boil the rice adding a little more to make sure that the ratio of rice and water is right. Add a little salt. Let the rice boil but make sure you don't overcook it!
4

While the rice is boiling, finely cut the bacon and the onion and julienne the carrot. Place everything in a large frying pan, together with the corn and sauté well.
5

When the rice is done, add it to the lentils in the large frying pan and mix everything well.
