LENTIL-VEGETABLE-KIELBASA SLOW COOKER STEW
I adapted this from the "Fix-it and Forget-It Lightly" cookbook. The original recipe is great, but my carnivore husband suggested adding the kielbasa, which I did in the last hour of slow cooking. I also threw in extra veggies, both fresh and canned. This is one of those recipes you don't have to worry about measuring the veggies...in fact, add whatever you fancy!

Steps:
- Combine water, tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, red wine, basil, thyme, bay leaf, crush red peeper in slow cooker.
- Stir to blend.
- Add lentils, onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, garlic, greens and kielbasa.
- Cover.
- Cook on low 10-12 hours or on high 4-5 hours.
- Remove bay leaf, and serve with chopped basil, parsley, hot sauce or sour cream garnish (or any combination of these).
- NOTE: I prefer to add the canned greens and kielbasa in the last hour of cooking, but if you don't have time for that, just throw everything together in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinnertime!
