Sausage and lentils
A simple dish with a distinct flavour that will leave you craving more. Lentils are cooked with sausage and cumin to make a fast and satisfying meal that is ready in under 30 minutes with minimal effort. Use any type of cooked sausage. I have used leftover thick pork sausages, Polish sausage and chorizo - all with lovely results.

This turned out much better than I expected with a couple of tweaks. As written it seems it would be filling but a tad bland. I used a venison sausage, added some chili powder and garlic along with the cumin, and some tomato sauce as well. Definitely making this again with those adjustments! - 16 Sep 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Very good! Something unique & different for a change! Very fast and easy to make! We used the Polish sausage, but I added a little more than what was called for, to even out more with the lentils! - 10 Apr 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
For lentils this was actually pretty good! I never know what to do with the lentils I have in my pantry, and this was quite tasty, and QUICK! I used turkey polska keilbasa and served it with sauted paper-thin sliced carrots and onions. It took a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable at first, but the end result was great, especially when I mixed in the extra vegetables. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow! - 09 Jan 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
