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..

Add sausages and brown on all sides. Season lentils with salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar to taste. This delicious lentil soup is made with spicy smoked sausage and spinach, along with a Cajun or Creole seasoning blend and diced tomatoes. If you like a lighter soup, consider using chicken or turkey smoked sausage or kielbasa. Or use leftover diced ham instead of sausage.
