Sausage and Lentil Stew
1 1/2 cups lentils
1 1/4 pounds thick or thin sweet (mild) Italian sausages without fennel
seeds
3 ribs celery plus their leaves
1 medium-sized yellow onion
5 1/2 cups spring water
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Black pepper
Rinse the lentils and cull them for small stones and debris. Put them
in a heavy 4-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Cut thick sausages into 1-inch lengths or thin ones into 2-inch
lengths, and put them in the pot.
Clean and thinly slice the celery, chop the leaves, peel and finely
chop the onion, and add it all to the pot.
Pour in the water, and add the salt and a few grindings of black
pepper. Stir all the ingredients together, cover, and bring to a boil
over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat and cook at a lively simmer for about 1 hour, stirring
from time to time to prevent the lentils from burning. When the
sausages and lentils are cooked and the liquid has thickened, serve
piping hot in bowls. Serves 4.
That's it!
