Lentils and Spicy Sausages step by step
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large heavybottomed pot or dutch oven. When hot, add the onion, carrot and celery. Saute for fiveminutes, stirring frequently, then add the garlic and continue sautéing for another two minutes..
- Add the fresh rosemary, dried thyme, bay leaf, smoked paprika and lentils. Mix well then pour in the stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 25 - 30 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..
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place sausages on a baking sheet and lightly mist with cooking spray. Place in the oven and roast for 15 - 20 minutes, flipping midway through. You want the sausages to be crispy and golden.
- When the sausages are finished roasting, place in the pot with the lentils and serve together. Season lentils with additional salt to taste..
