- 450 g dried lentils
- 2 large smoked sausages (like french Morteau sausage)
- 4 carrots diced
- 1 onion minced
- 2 bay leaves
- olive oil
- water
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the lentils under cold water, and drain.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the pot. Fry the onion for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the carrots. Fry again for another 2 minutes.
- Add the lentils, sausages, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Add water up to cover the lentils.
- Close the pot and cook for 15 min when the pot is under pressure (or depending on the type of pan you are using, it will be longer with a traditional pan, shorter with an Instant pot).
- Before serving, remove any excess water and remove the bay leaves.
Notes
Be careful not to overcook otherwise your lentils will turn into a soup, though it will still be very good it will be less presentable.
