Cassoulet of Lentils With Chicken, Sausage and Pork image

This is a great dish to serve on a cold winter night. The recipe calls for green lentils, but you can use any kind of lentil you prefer. Serve this with a crisp salad and some crusty french bread for a fantastic meal, fit for company. Modified from a recipe I this from the BV Wine Society probably 10 years ago.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The lentils were a bit mushy and the flavors were not as rich as I expected.
