Lentil stew with smoked pork collar and csipetke noodles | Home-style one-pot dish

Finely chop the onion and garlic, slice the carrots and parsley root into rings, and cut the smoked pork collar into 1–1.5 cm cubes. Rinse the dry lentils in cold water and drain.

Melt the lard in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced smoked pork collar and brown slightly for 3–4 minutes to release its delicious smoky flavors.

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the crushed garlic, sliced carrots, and parsley root, then sauté for another 2–3 minutes.
