Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large white onion, peeled
1 celery rib, sliced
2 garlic cloves, peeled; 1 finely chopped, 1 halved
2 pounds fully cooked pork sausage such as French garlic sausage (see note), sliced 1 1/4-inch thick
1 pound French green lentils, rinsed
5 sprigs fresh thyme, tied with kitchen string
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus additional
Red wine vinegar, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Dijon mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat in large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven. Slice onion into quarters; cut quarters crosswise into 1-inch chunks. Add onion, celery and garlic to pan; cook, stirring, until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Do not let vegetables brown (lower heat if necessary).
  • Add sausage, lentils, thyme and enough water to cover. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Season with vinegar and additional salt and pepper. Discard thyme. Stir in the parsley. Serve warm, with mustard alongside.

This dish was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll use less sausage next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lentils turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked them.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but this dish was actually pretty good. The sausage and spices helped to mask the lentil flavor.

I love this dish! The lentils are so hearty and filling, and the sausage adds a delicious smoky flavor. I usually make a big batch of this on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The lentils cook up quickly and the sausage adds a lot of flavor. I usually serve it with a side of rice or bread.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably reduce the amount of chili flakes next time.
