    Lentil Stew with Chicken Sausage - A Twist on Traditional Comfort Food

    Unlike a beef stew, this lentil stew recipe has a bit of sweetness and a hint of tart which works really well with the chicken sausage.

    And then there are the lentils, I simply love them. Lentils are super budget-friendly and rich in nutrients. Lentils contain (relatively) high amounts of protein as well as fiber and vitamin B.

    This is a tasty, healthy, and filling recipe and the leftovers keep great overnight. And except for the chicken sausage, all of the ingredients are things you'll likely find in your kitchen.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup LENTILS
    • 12 ounces Chicken Sausage
    • 3 ½ cups Chicken Stock - Divided
    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin OLIVE OIL
    • 1 medium ONION
    • 2 cloves GARLIC
    • 4 stalks CELERY
    • 1 cup BABY CARROTS
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
    • 2 tablespoons RED WINE VINEGAR
    • 3 tablespoons MAPLE SYRUP

    How to make Chicken Sausage and Lentil Stew?

    1. Cook the lentils according to the package instructions.
    2. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat.
    3. Sauté the onions, garlic, and celery until tender.
    4. Add baby carrots, dijon mustard, vinegar, chicken stock, and maple syrup. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the carrots are soft.
    5. Next, add the browned sausage and cooked lentils to the mix and cook for another minute. Serve and enjoy.
