I won’t hide the fact that I got a little discouraged this morning while shovelling snow from my car\u2026 winter is definitely on our doorstep ! But who says cold says comfort food and there’s nothing like a delicious stew of lentils and smoked sausages to face the falling temperatures. This old classic, who cradled my childhood, is always a great success. Smoked sausages give an irresistible taste to any dishes, and the kids of course love them\u2026 it even make them forget the “ugly” carrots that they hate so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing difficult here again. I use a pressure cooker, but you could use a regular pan, an Instant pot, or even a slow cooker. You will only need to adjust the cooking time according to the pan you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always vary the type of lentils, green, brown\u2026 they all do the trick [except for the red ones, they cook way faster]. But my little favorite is the Beluga variety. This little lentil, nicknamed the “caviar of lentils” because of its color and shape, is from Canada. Always better to use a local product ! However it is not always easy to find and it is a little more expensive than other lentils [though still affordable]. Organic stores tend to have it more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In France we tend to eat it as it, but since my Brazilian hubby came into my life I now always serve it with some rice. South americans and their famous “rice and beans” had to apply here, and I have to say it does get well together.<\/p>\n\n\n
