1
In a large, deep dish, rinse the lentils under the water faucet to get rid of any dirt or stones.
2
Put 6 cups of fresh water in a pot along with the rinsed lentils and set aside for later.
3
Stir-fry the bacon and chorizo in a medium-sized, non-stick frying pan. Incorporate the chopped onion and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Add the red and green peppers and cook for 3 more minutes before mixing in the celery, tomatoes, garlic, green onion and cilantro with a wooden spoon. Season with the garlic powder, salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes.
4
Add this stir-fry to the pot of lentils and cook over medium heat. Add the carrots and plantains to the mix, and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the lentils have softened and the grains have separated. If necessary, add more water and salt and pepper, to taste.
5
Let the lentils cool, store in an airtight container that can be stored in the freezer. Freeze the lentils for up to one week.
6
When you’re ready to serve this dish, scoop out the desired portions and thaw out on the stove or in the microwave, returning frozen lentils to freezer to serve at a later date.
