Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, small diced
1 stalk celery, small diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups dry green lentils, rinsed
1 quart chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh minced rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
splash red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt
pepper
1 lb hot Italian sausage, about 4 large links (can sub mild Italian)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven. When hot, add the onion, carrot and celery. Saute for five minutes, stirring frequently, then add the garlic and continue sauteing for another two minutes.
  • Add the fresh rosemary, dried thyme, bay leaf, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and lentils. Mix well then pour in the stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes until lentils have absorbed most of the liquid. Stir in the Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar and continue simmering until all the liquid has been absorbed. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place sausages on a foil-lined baking sheet and lightly mist with cooking spray. If you don't have cooking spray, brush lightly with olive oil. Place in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping midway through. The sausages should appear to be crispy and golden.
  • When the sausages are finished roasting, place in the pot with the lentils and serve together.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I still enjoyed this dish. The lentils were so creamy and flavorful that I didn't even notice the spiciness.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I always have some lentils leftover from other recipes, and this is a great way to use them up.

This dish is perfect for a cold winter night. The lentils and sausage are hearty and filling, and the spices warm you up from the inside out.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used veggie sausage in this dish. It was still very flavorful and delicious.

I had some trouble finding spicy sausages at the store, so I used regular Italian sausage instead. The dish was still delicious, but I think it would have been better with the spicy sausage.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use a milder sausage.

This dish was a hit with my family! The lentils were perfectly cooked and the spicy sausages added just the right amount of heat. I will definitely be making this again.
