Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 onions, finely chopped 100 g
1 carrots, finely chopped 100 g
1 stalk celery, finely chopped 70 g
1/2 dried chili peppers, minced 0.2 g
2 tbsp olive oil 30 mL
2 cups green or brown lentils (dried) 360 g
2/3 cup chicken broth 170 mL
1/2 cup red wine 125 mL
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste 28 g
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
4 smoked sausages 150 g
2 tbsp Italian parsley, fresh, finely chopped [optional] 10 g

Before you start

It is not necessary to soak the lentils in advance.

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Finely chop the garlic, onion(s), carrot(s), and celery stalk(s). Mince the chili pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the vegetables and chili pepper, then sauté 2-3 min until they are slightly softened. Stir in the lentils then cook 1 min.
  3. Pour in the broth, wine, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until the lentils are cooked al dente, about 30 min. Stir occasionally and check that the lentils remain moist, adding some more broth or water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the sausages on a medium-hot grill until brown and crisp, about 2-3 min per side. Alternatively, sauté the sausages in a grooved grill-pan, then add them to the lentils. Cover then cook an additional 5 min. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley (optional) then serve.

I found the broth, wine and tomato paste wasn't quite enough to keep the lentils moist during simmer. Needed to add almost a cup of water/broth mix. Turned out great and very tasty though! Thanks!

I used honey mustard smokies for this and it was super tasty. We will definitely make it again through the summer. I also had to add a lot more liquid. Maybe an extra cup of water or so.
