Step 1

If you are making your own lentils, start that first… they take 45 min. Get that going while you chop etc.

Step 2

Dice lemon zest strips fine, mix with 3 of your minced garlic, add lemon juice and set aside (this gets mixed in right before serving).

Step 3

Brown sausage, add onions on top while the sausage browns. Add your dry spices and some salt. Cook until onions change color.

Step 4

Create a hole, add your tomato paste, stirring to get some browning on the tomato paste. Create another hole, add a bit of oil and add your remaining garlic. Once the garlic is fragrant, mix everything so that your garlic doesn’t brown (bitter). Deglaze your pan with chicken stock and add your diced tomatoes and lentils. Cook to bring everything up to temperature. Stir in your lemon/garlic/lemon-juice and mix in. Add salt to taste.

Step 5

Serve topped with grated parmesan.

Step 6

You could add other vegetables such as asparagus. You could also use cannellini beans rather then lentils
