Steps:

• Chop onion and garlic finely. Saute -medium heat- in olive oil for 5 minutes. If it starts to burn, sprinkle some water.
• Add the cumin to the onion. Saute for 2 more minutes.
• Apart, in a deep pan, put the lentils with the water and bring to boil. Boil vigorously for 10 minutes.
• Whilst the lentils are boiling, add the tomatoes to the onion sauce. Bring the heat to low and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes.
• Add the basil, thyme, paprika, cloves and pepper to the sauce.
• Meanwhile, dice the beetroot, potato and carrot.

• Chop the bacon in pieces.
• In a pan, fry it without oil until golden/brown.
