Ingredients




1/2 pound Dry lentils- or so
an onion
3 bay leaves
4 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup of olive oil
sausage (links or patties) Spicy Italian is the best
Oil/butter (to brown the sausage)

Preparation

1 Rinse lentils and place in a sauce pan. 2 Cover them with water, add half onion and bay leaves. 3 Cook until tender (but not mushy, the lentils should have a bit to them). Drain, discard bay and onion. 4 Fine chop garlic and paste with salt. 5 In separate bowl add olive oil and add garlic paste. Set aside (allow the garlic to infuse in the oil). 6 Add hot lentils to the garlic/oil mix and set aside. 7 While the lentils are boiling start cooking the sausage. Start the links in a pan and cover them half way with water. Allow them to cook through, once the water has boiled out add oil or butter and crisp the casings. 8 Serve with the warm lentils.

are you going to be a chef?

Sigh, that would be fun, but no. I am a better writer than chef (sadly this is one of my few dishes I make). But I am always on the look out for gluten free (and tasty) dishes. This is one of my favorites. I love lentils.
