Notes: You can also use Beluga, Eston, or Le Puy lentils. Ingredients:
1 pound linguisa (portuguese) or kielbasa (polish) sausages |
olive oil (optional) |
2 onions (1 lb. total), peeled and thinly sliced |
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic |
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds |
2 dried bay leaves |
3 cups fat-skimmed reduced-sodium chicken broth |
1 1/2 cups dried pardina lentils (12 oz.; see notes), sorted and rinsed |
1 1/4 cups dry red wine |
1/3 cup chopped parsley |
1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot sauce |
salt |
Directions:
1. Cut sausages crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-high heat, stir sausages often until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer slices to paper towels to drain. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat in pan, or, if needed, add olive oil to make this amount.
2. Add onions and garlic to pan. Stir often over medium-high heat until limp, about 8 minutes. Add cumin and bay leaves; stir for 1 minute. Add broth, 1 cup water, sausages, and lentils. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover, and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in wine. Simmer, covered, until lentils are tender to bite, 5 to 20 minutes longer. Uncover and boil, stirring often, until soup is reduced to 2 quarts, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley and hot sauce to taste. Ladle into bowls. Add salt to taste.
