Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup black beluga lentils
2 ½ cups water
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 hot Italian sausage links
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 (8 ounce) package crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 eggplant, chopped
1 small hot pepper, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Combine lentils, water, and salt in a large pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the lentils are tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
  • While the lentils cook, heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add sausage links to the pot; cook until browned completely, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Stir garlic into the onion mixture; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, eggplant, and hot pepper to the pot; season with salt and black pepper. Pour diced tomatoes over the vegetable mixture. Place a cover on the pot and cook at a simmer until the sausage is no longer pink the middle, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the sausages from the vegetable mixture to a cutting board; cut into chunks and stir into the lentils. Stir vegetable mixture into the lentils. Cover pot and cook until the vegetables are tender and the flavors blend, about 5 minutes.

LENTIL AND POLISH SAUSAGE CASSEROLE



Lentil and Polish Sausage Casserole image

We like lentils, and this recipe is fast, easy and cheap. I bought the sausage for 99 cents at the local Canned Foods Warehouse (aka Rainbow). You can use hot sausage or mild. I usually make this with half red and half brown lentils for the texture, but you can use all of one kind. I imagine this could be made in a crockpot, I just haven't done it. Serve with a fresh salad.
