Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, small diced
1 stalk celery, small diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups dry green lentils, rinsed
1 quart chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh minced rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
splash red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt
pepper
1 lb hot Italian sausage, about 4 large links (can sub mild Italian)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven. When hot, add the onion, carrot and celery. Saute for five minutes, stirring frequently, then add the garlic and continue sauteing for another two minutes.
  • Add the fresh rosemary, dried thyme, bay leaf, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and lentils. Mix well then pour in the stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes until lentils have absorbed most of the liquid. Stir in the Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar and continue simmering until all the liquid has been absorbed. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place sausages on a foil-lined baking sheet and lightly mist with cooking spray. If you don't have cooking spray, brush lightly with olive oil. Place in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping midway through. The sausages should appear to be crispy and golden.
  • When the sausages are finished roasting, place in the pot with the lentils and serve together.

This recipe was a disappointment. The lentils were mushy and the sausage was bland. I won't be making it again.

This recipe was too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less sausage or adding some sour cream to tone down the heat.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lentils were still undercooked. I had to cook them for an additional 30 minutes.

This was a great way to use up some leftover lentils. I added some chopped vegetables to the recipe and it turned out really well.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I often make it for potlucks and it's always gone in minutes.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lentils turned out great. I used a different type of sausage than the recipe called for, but it still turned out delicious.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. The lentils are always cooked perfectly and the sausage is so flavorful. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so it's easy to clean up.

This was a great recipe! I made it for my family and they loved it. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the sausage was flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
