1. Start with a bag of lentils. I do not recommend La Preferida brand. Get Goya brand if possible or organic green lentils.
2. Rinse them, picking out the broken or odd pieces.

3. Pour them into a crock pot and cover with chicken broth and/or water. I prefer chicken broth. Make sure that the liquid line
is always 1/2 above the lentils. If it gets lower, add more liquid.
4. Add the following:
A smoked turkey leg, (smoked ham of some variety will do as well, but turkey is better.
Minced garlic (always fresh--not the stuff in the jar. I use half of a bulb or more.
1 small white onion-chopped.
1 T of Liquid Smoke
2 tsp of ground cumin
2 tsp of Adobo Seasoning (easily found in any Hispanic aisle of most grocery stores).
1 individual pack of Goya Seasoning with azafran (This comes in an orange box with individual packets. Again should find easily in Hispanic section).
1 small jalapeno or 1 large green pepper chopped.
2 tsp of soy sauce
1 tsp black pepper
