Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small shallot, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
1/2 cup of broccoli, I used a food processor, finely chopped

1 cup of sliced sausage
2 cups vegetable broth, or meat
1 lb of steamed French lentils
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Saute the shallots and garlic until soft and translucent. Then add all the remaining ingredients and allow to simmer until carrots are cooked through. About 20 minutes or so.
  • You can serve this as a stew. Or add more broth and turn it into a soup. I love serving this over rice or eating it with some sourdough bread. As an option thinly slice a radish to give it a little spiciness and crunch.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Pork     Stew     Sausage     Lentil     Fall     Simmer

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups lentils
1 1/4 pounds thick or thin sweet (mild) Italian sausages without fennel seeds
3 ribs celery plus their leaves
1 medium-sized yellow onion
5 1/2 cups spring water
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the lentils and cull them for small stones and debris. Put them in a heavy 4-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid. Cut thick sausages into 1-inch lengths or thin ones into 2-inch lengths, and put them in the pot. Clean and thinly slice the celery, chop the leaves, peel and finely chop the onion, and add it all to the pot.

  • Reduce the heat and cook at a lively simmer for about 1 hour, stirring from time to time to prevent the lentils from burning. When the sausages and lentils are cooked and the liquid has thickened, serve piping hot in bowls.
