Lentil and Polish Sausage Casserole

"We like lentils, and this recipe is fast, easy and cheap. I bought the sausage for 99 cents at the local Canned Foods Warehouse (aka Rainbow). You can use hot sausage or mild. I usually make this with half red and half brown lentils for the texture, but you can use all of one kind. I imagine this could be made in a crockpot, I just haven't done it. Serve with a fresh salad."

  • Saute the onions in the olive oil until brown (about 10 minutes).

  • Add the lentils and the sausage.
  • Add the water, bay leaf, salt (at least 1 teaspoon or to taste) and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil, cover and turn down the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for about 1 1/2 hrs or until lentils are tender.
  • Watch the pot to make sure there is enough liquid so that the lentils don't burn.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley -- the most beautiful place on earth! I share my home with a friend and way too many cats. I am a licensed massage therapist with an office in my home. My maternal grandfather was a chef, and it is his picture and name I am using. Both sets of grandparents owned (and cooked for) their own restaurants. My parents were awesome cooks. We are slow food advocates. We don't buy out of season or out of region foods, unless there is no alternative (bananas come to mind here). I am so fortunate to live where I do. I can buy all my meat from local farmers (humane practices, no antibiotics or hormones, no feedlot mentality). Oregon produces great artisan cheeses from cows, goats and sheep. Seafood? Dungeness crab season starts this week, and we have fresh salmon, shrimp, scallops, mussels and bottom fish available year 'round. I will match our local fruits and vegetables against any in the world. I can buy organic, locally grown and stone ground flours in the bulk bins of a low-cost supermarket. Oregon wines and specialty beers are a great accompaniment to any meal.
