Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup dried lentils
4 1/2 cups cold water
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 fennel bulb, stalks discarded , reserving fronds
3 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 carrot, diced
1/2 tsp fennel seed
1 1/4 lbs sweet italian sausage
3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp red wine vinegar (to taste)

Directions:

Bring lentils, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just tender , approximately 25 minutes.
While lentils simmer, cut fennel bulb into 1/4-inch dice and chop enough fennel fronds to measure 2 tablespoons. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then stir in onion, carrot, fennel bulb, fennel seeds, and remaining teaspoon salt. Cover pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, lightly prick sausages in a couple of places with tip of a sharp knife, then cook sausages in remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
Drain cooked lentils in a sieve set over a bowl and reserve cooking water. Stir lentils into vegetables with enough cooking water to moisten (1/4 to 1/2 cup) and cook over moderate heat until heated through. Stir in parsley, pepper, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and fennel fronds. Season with vinegar and salt.
Cut sausages diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve lentils topped with sausage.
