How to Make Lentils With Garlic Sausage

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of garlic sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove sausage and set aside.
  3. Add 2 cups of sliced leeks, 1 cup of chopped carrots, and 4 cloves of minced garlic to the Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat until softened, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of brown or green lentils, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, and 5 cups of water (or vegetable broth for extra flavor).
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until lentils are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally.
  6. Remove the bay leaf and discard.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
  8. Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Stir to combine with the lentils.
  9. Serve hot, drizzled with the mustard-oil mixture and garnished with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
