How to Make Italian Sausage Lentil Stew
- Spray a large (6-quart) saucepot with vegetable cooking spray. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through. Remove sausage from pot and set aside.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 medium carrot (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 6 cups vegetable broth, 1 cup brown or green lentils (rinsed), 2 medium potatoes (cubed), 1 bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
- Stir in 1 bunch broccoli rabe (chopped) and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving.
- Stir in the cooked Italian sausage and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
