Place your skinned lentils in a pot with the beef broth, bring to a simmer. Add onion and garlic and let it simmer till it is nice and thick. When it is almost cooked add fresh chopped green herbs and the cooked bacon and let it simmer another 5 minutes. I was surprised at the color difference in the dish using skinned lentils. Un-skinned lentils result in a dirty brown appearance.
Skinned lentils are golden, and creamier.
