Lentil and Sausage Stew

This meal was cooked for new year after seeing all the Italian blogs with lentil and sausage recipes I got craving it and round foods are supposed to be good luck or so they say :-) It was easy to make and so good for you. Some of you may have made new years resolutions and since we are now going into February maybe even struggling. I must confess I never really make them and I feel its best to eat healthy all year surrounding yourself with a network of supportive like minded people. 

Ingredients:

• one pack of chicken sausages or any of your choice
• one cup of brown lentils
• 1/2 a red onion chopped 
• 1/2 a red pepper chopped 
• one small zucchini chopped
• one small can of tomatoes 
• 4 cloves of garlic chopped
• salt to taste 

Method:

1. boil the lentils for about 20-30 minutes until cooked and set aside
2. saute onions and garlic in olive oil for about 5 minutes
3. add the red pepper and zucchini for about 7 minutes until soft
4. add the can of tomatoes 
5. then add the chopped cooked sausage and lentils and simmer for 15 - 20 min
6. serve with polenta 

We returned home from the huge what seemed like a round the world trip last night, so good to be home and excited to get cooking again, thanks for joining us
