Description

Looking for an easy stick-to-your-ribs meal that you can cook once and eat off of all week? This is it. And best of all, it freezes well!

Ingredients

  • 4 T butter
  • 18 oz Polska kielbasa or other spiced, smoke sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rings
  • 1 c diced onion
  • 1 c diced carrot
  • 1 c celery
  • 4 clv minced garlic
  • 1 T dried tarragon
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 c canned chopped tomatoes in their own juices
  • 1 1⁄2 c white wine
  • 1 lb dried lentils
  • 5 1⁄2 c Chicken stock
  • 16 oz package frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed to remove moisture

Instructions

Place butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage and brown, then add onion, carrot, celery, garlic, tarragon, and thyme.

Sauté for 5 minutes until onions are glassy. Add tomatoes and wine and bring to a boil. Lower heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the lentils and stock. When mixture is simmering again, cook for 1 hour or until lentils are tender. Stir in the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

This is a lot like my recipe!

Alright!  I KNEW it was good!  Cool

 

The only real difference is, I use fresh spinach and put it right in the bowl and let the broth wilt it right before I serve it.  It really keeps its color!
