Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 pieces garlic cloves minced
  • 1 piece onion chopped
  • 250 grams pumpkin peeled and diced
  • 1 medium potato peeled and diced (150-180 g)
  • 1 piece ear of corn cut into pieces
  • 150 grams lentils preferably Lanzarote type
  • salt to taste
  • 1 leaf bay leaf
  • 1 liter water

Instructions
 

  • Soak the lentils overnight in plenty of water.
  • In a pot, heat the olive oil. Peel and finely chop the garlic, sauté until golden, then add the onion, chopped finely, and cook until translucent (about 10 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds, and cut it into medium-sized cubes.
  • Peel the potato and cut it into small cubes (like for a potato omelet).
  • Peel the corn, remove the silk, and cut it into 4 or 5 pieces.
  • Drain the lentils and add them to the pot along with the pumpkin, potato, corn, bay leaf, a pinch of salt, and the water. Stir and close the lid.
  • If using a pressure cooker, cook for 15 minutes after steam starts to come out.
  • If using a regular pot, cover to prevent evaporation, stirring occasionally. If it thickens too much, add more water. It will take about 1 hour.

Notes

Although soaking the lentils is not mandatory, I prefer to soak them for easier cooking and better digestion.
