- Whilst lentils and bacon are coming to the boil chop the vegetables if you havent already
- Add the vegetables EXCEPT the potatoes at this stage
- Turn down the heat and let it mingle and boil down to infuse all the flavours for about 3 hours or more
- Add the potatoes about 30 minutes before end of cooking
