Steps to make Cajun pork and lentils:
- Check the lentils for stones or any foreign objects. - Place the lentils in a container, cover with plenty water and let them soak for a couple hours. - In a bowl mix all the spices for the Cajun seasoning. - Pad dry the ribs with paper towel and mix with 2½ teaspoons Cajun seasoning. Let them marinate for 1 hour. Save the rest of the seasoning for other Cajun recipes.
- Cut the vegetables and measure the rest of the ingredients. - Heat up at moderate temperature a large frying pan and melt the pork fat. When some of the fat becomes brown, remove and reserve. - Place the ribs in the frying pan and brown them on both sides. Remove to a deep pot.
- Add to the frying pan onion, garlic and brown them, trying to lose any particles sticking on the pan. - Add the rest of the vegetables, brown pieces of pork fat and sweat them for 3 minutes. - Add 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and cook for 1 minute. Add the vegetables and tomatoes to the pot with the ribs.
- Deglaze the frying pan with the wine or water and add to the ribs. - Incorporate the water, bring it to a boil, lower the flame and let the ribs cook slowly for 45 minutes. - Drain the soaking lentils. Add lentils, potatoes to ribs in the pot. - Let boil the liquid, lower the flame and cook slowly for 25 to 30 minutes or until lentils are soft.
- Serve the soup with a bit chopped tomatoes and cilantro on top.
