Lentils with Polish Sausage... Croatian Style ! image

I was looking for a Lentil Soup Recipe and adopted this abandoned one, made a few adjustments added a photo, and here we are... If you like, you could use Smoked Ham Hocks instead of the Polish Sausages... I hope you all enjoy this fine Croatian version of Lentil Soup :-)

Categories     Bean Soups

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lentils, dry
cold water
1 1/2 lb italian sausage
1/4 c olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-2 sprig(s) italian parsley, finely minced
pinch pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Clean lentils well by soaking them briefly in cold water, changing the water at least once...
  • 2. Put them in a 2-1/2-quart saucepan, add a chicken boullion cube and cold water to cover, and bring to a boil; lower heat to simmer and cook until not quite done, about 45 minutes...
  • 3. Meanwhile, slice sausages once length wise and then cut slices from each half of the sausages...
  • 4. In a medium skillet, brown the sausage slices, then add and saute the onion, carrot, garlic and parsley in the olive oil over medium heat until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are almost done...
  • 5. To the lentil pot, add the sausage and vegetables, season with pepper, and mix gently using a wooden spoon...
  • 6. In a small sauce pan you will make a roux... Warm enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, and add some of the liquid from the lentils and a couple of tablespoons of flour...
  • 7. Brown the roux lightly then transfer to Lentil Soup and bring to one last boil, this will help thicken the soup a bit... Adjust seasonings to your taste...
  • 8. Serve with Croutons, garnish with some sliced Green Onions and if you like sprinkle some Parmesan Cheese on top... Enjoy :-)

This is a great recipe for a budget-friendly meal. Lentils are very affordable and the other ingredients are also very inexpensive.

I served this dish with a side of sauerkraut and it was a perfect match. The sourness of the sauerkraut helped to balance out the richness of the lentils and sausage.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used a mild Polish sausage in this recipe. It was still very flavorful and I really enjoyed it.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetarian sausage in this recipe. It turned out great! The lentils and spices were very flavorful and the vegetarian sausage was a good substitute for the Polish sausage.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I had some leftover lentils from another recipe and I decided to try this dish. It turned out great! The sausage and spices really helped to flavor the lentils.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-cooked sausage and it still turned out great. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a hit with the whole family.
