Black Lentil Stew with Sausage and Kale image

There's nothing like a big, steaming bowl of comfort food to make everything seem all right, and this dark but delightful black lentil stew with sausage and kale is no exception. Sausage and lentils is a marriage made in heaven, and so good together, that not even kale can ruin it. I'm kidding, and actually love kale, but if you're not the biggest fan in the world, maybe try it one more time in this.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 large carrot, cubed
1 rib celery, chopped
1 (12 ounce) ring smoked garlic sausage, sliced
1 bay leaf
1 ½ cups black lentils
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 bunches lacinato (dinosaur) kale
1 large tomato, diced
2 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Saute onion, carrot, and celery until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add sausage; mix to coat. Stir in bay leaf and lentils. Pour in broth; season with salt and pepper. Increase heat and bring soup to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils start to swell up, about 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, pull kale leaves away from the stem. Roll leaves up and chop into ribbons. Place in a colander and wash.
  • Stir kale and tomato into the soup. Cook until kale and lentils are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and season as desired.
  • Ladle soup into serving bowls and garnish with sour cream and cayenne pepper.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but this stew was really good. The sausage and kale helped to balance out the flavor of the lentils.

I made this stew last night and it was delicious! I used Italian sausage and added some extra vegetables. It was a great way to use up some leftover lentils.
