2. The next day, the lentils are put in a pressure cooker with the same soaking water (so that they are thick) and the onion, the crushed garlic and a little color are added. The pot is covered and when it boils the lentils caleñas are allowed for about 20 minutes.

3. While Colombian lentil soup is cooked we make a stew. To do this, we chop the onion and garlic very small and add them in a hot pan with a splash of oil. When it is transparent, add the grated tomato and maggi cube and cook it all about 5 minutes.
