A very simple and inexpensive dinner idea from Rachael Ray. Ingredients:
1/2 lb lentils |
1 fresh bay leaf |
1 small onion, peeled and halved |
4 large garlic cloves, minced |
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil |
8 fresh sausages, any kind you like |
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, a generous handful, finely chopped |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cover lentils by 2 inches with water, add bay and onion and bring to a boil. Boil lentils 20 to 22 minutes until just tender but with a little bite left to them.
2. In a shallow pasta bowl combine the garlic and about 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil and let stand 15 minutes.
3. Place sausages in a small pan and add 1/4-inch water and 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, a little drizzle. Bring water to a boil then reduce heat to medium-high. Let the water simmer away 8 minutes or so, then crisp the casings 3 to 4 minutes more.
4. Remove bay and onion from lentils. Toss hot lentils with garlic oil, parsley and salt and pepper. Serve with sausages on top.
