Ingredients
  

  • 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

Equipment

  • Pressure cooker (or a regular pan)

Method
 

  1. Rinse the lentils under cold water, and drain.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the lentils, sausages, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Add water up to cover the lentils.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
