- Peel and dice the carrot. Add it to the onions and stir well.
- Clean and cut the mushrooms and add them together with the green peas and chopped tomatoes. Stir well.
- Pour the vegetable broth and add the bicarbonate soda and red wine, mix well. Then season to taste with: bay leaf, Himalayan salt, parsley, paprika, ground garlic, and black pepper.
- In a separate pan, pour water and rinse well the lentils. With freshwater cook the lentils for around 10 minutes. They don't need to be fully cooked, as they will with the rest of the ingredients.
