Best 8 Braised Lentils With Garlic Sausage Recipes

SAUSAGE WITH GARLIC LENTILS

Steps:

• Cover lentils by 2 inches with water, add bay and onion and bring to a boil. Boil lentils 20 to 22 minutes until just tender but with a little bite left to them.
• In a shallow pasta bowl combine the garlic and about 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil and let stand 15 minutes.
• Place sausages in a small pan and add 1/4-inch water and 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, a little drizzle. Bring water to a boil then reduce heat to medium-high. Let the water simmer away 8 minutes or so, then crisp the casings 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Remove bay and onion from lentils. Toss hot lentils with garlic oil, parsley and salt and pepper. Serve with sausages on top.

LENTILS WITH GARLIC SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the sausage pieces, and cook over medium high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage to a plate.
• Add the leeks, carrot, and garlic to the oil in the pan and cook over medium heat until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the lentils, herbs, bay leaf, and 5 cups water; bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer over low heat until the lentils are tender, about 35 minutes. Remove the herb sprigs and bay leaf.
• In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the mustard. Add the sausage back into the pot, and stir until sausage is warmed through. Transfer the stew to bowls, and drizzle with the mustard oil and parsley to serve.

SIMPLE BRAISED FRENCH LENTILS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and carrots and stir 4-5 minutes, then turn heat down to medium. Cook 4-5 more minutes and add the garlic and lentils. Cook 2 minutes stirring.
• Add the wine. Let this cook-off, about 2 minutes.
• Pour in the stock, salt, and mustard and stir until combined and bring to a good simmer. Add the bay leaves and thyme sprigs, cover and gently simmer on low heat 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
• When the lentils are tender, uncover and cook off any extra liquid ( or feel free to drain). Remove the thyme sprigs, taste and adjust salt. A tiny little splash of red wine vinegar livens them up.
• Leftovers can be frozen for later use, or refrigerated and made into a salad the next day- adding fresh veggies and a simple vinaigrette. Or use for breakfast, warmed on toast, with Sauteed Greens, a poached egg and an herby green sauce like gremolata or Leek oil. YUM. ????

• Add the lentils and the stock and bring to a simmer.
• Nestle the sausages back into the lentils and slide the skillet into the oven, then cook for 40 to 45 minutes, until the sausages are cooked through and the lentils are soft.

SAUSAGES BRAISED WITH LENTILS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan and brown the sausages (they do not need to be fully cooked).
• Meanwhile, finely dice the onion, celery and carrot, and finely chop the garlic.
• Remove the sausages from the pan, and add the diced vegetables, then saute over a medium heat until softened but not browned.
• Rinse the lentils, then add to the pan along with the red wine. Bring to the boil, and reduce the wine until it is syrupy, Stir in the chicken stock and sliced mushrooms, and nestle the sausages into the mixture. Place the sprig of rosemary (or thyme if you prefer it) on top.
• Cover and simmer for 30 minutes until the lentils are fully cooked.
• Discard the rosemary (or thyme), and reduce any excess liquid over a high heat - you want a syrupy sauce to remain.
• Stir in the redcurrant jelly, and season to taste.

Taste and season with more kosher salt if needed. Fish out herb sprigs if using and discard.
