3. Add garlic when the bacon is about 1/2 cooked.
4. When garlic is 1/2 cooked, add onions (don't over cook the garlic) and then the tomato when the onions are translucent.
5. Smash / stir ingredients for about 3 mins and then add soaked lentils. Fill the pot up with water about 1/2 way, simmer until lentils are soft and tender, but add water if needed to ensure it doesn't get too dry. Add salt to taste.
