- Soak the lentils for 7 to 8 hours, after this time drain and rinse them well.

- Sauté the garlic clove, the grated carrot, the onion, and the bell pepper over medium heat and in half a tablespoon of oil.
- In a bowl or deep dish, mix the lentil mass with the sautéed vegetables, with the salt and spices to taste (you can add breadcrumbs if the mass is not uniform).
