You can choose between turkey or pork.<\/li><li data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"286\"><strong>Spanish Chorizo:<\/strong> You have several options for substituting this. You can use any cured pork sausage, such as salami or pepperoni. You can also use Mexican chorizo, but you must fry it along with the bacon.<\/li><li data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"286\"><strong>Canned tomatoes:<\/strong> You can also use unseasoned tomato puree. If you use fresh tomatoes, you can roast them and blend them.<\/li><li data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"286\"><strong>Chipotle peppers:<\/strong> Blend them to get a sauce-like texture. Adjust according to your taste.<\/li><li data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"286\"><strong>Chicken broth:<\/strong> For the best flavour, use chicken broth instead of water. You can also add concentrated chicken broth to enhance the flavour.<\/li><li data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"286\"><strong>Plantains:<\/strong> I prefer ripe plantains.<\/li><\/ul><p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3321 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.mealnstock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/lentejas_soup_op-01.jpg?resize=602%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.mealnstock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/lentejas_soup_op-01.jpg?w=602&amp;ssl=1 602w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.mealnstock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/lentejas_soup_op-01.jpg?resize=226%2C300&amp;ssl=1 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f619ee8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f619ee8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"53\"><strong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"51\">How to Make Lentejas Charras in the Instant Pot<\/strong><\/h2><h3 data-start=\"55\" data-end=\"92\"><strong data-start=\"55\" data-end=\"90\">Step 1.

running water until the water runs clear. Set aside.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-67af9cb0efb24\" class=\"direction-step\">Cut the carrots and potatoes into approximately 1 cm cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-67af9cb0efb25\" class=\"direction-step\">Turn on the Instant Pot in Saut\u00e9 mode and heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the bacon and fry until it releases its fat and turns golden. Add the smoked ham and cook for a couple of minutes.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-67af9cb0efb26\" class=\"direction-step\">Stir in the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent. Add the potatoes and carrots, mix well, then pour in the water, diced tomatoes, and chipotle chillies if using (you can blend them beforehand for a smoother texture).<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-17395680862501743\" class=\"direction-step\">Add the lentils, Spanish chorizo, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cancel Saut\u00e9 mode and select Pressure Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-17395680862501744\" class=\"direction-step\">While the lentils cook, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and fry the plantain slices until golden brown. Set aside.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-17395680862501745\" class=\"direction-step\">Once the lentils are done, manually release the pressure. Stir in the fried plantain and cook on Saut\u00e9 mode for 5 more minutes to blend the flavours. If you reserved the chipotle chillies to keep the dish mild, now is the time to separate portions and add them only where desired.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-17395680862501746\"
