Sausage, Lentil and Spinach Stew
(in a slow cooker)
Happy
New Year! I wanted to ring in a new year with those classic signs of
luck: Pork (for forward progress), Lentils (swell and look like coin), and
spinach (green for money). Plus, it has the bonus of being prepared in
the slow cooker (in case your New Years Eve celebration was extra
'celebratory'!)
The
recipe serves about 10-12 (and in my case – lazy movie watchers.) Serve
with cornbread.
Ingredients:
2 cup lentils
4 cups beef broth
1 package hot sausage,(sliced or if
using loose sausage, cook and crumbled)
2 cup chopped carrots
2 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
(fire-roasted would be ideal)
1 bag fresh spinach
Hot Sauce (optional)
Directions:
Rinse
lentil under cold water and place into the slower cooker with the beef broth,
cooked sausage, can of tomatoes, and chopped carrots.
Cook on high
for 3 hours, or until lentils are cooked.
Add fresh spinach. As it wilts,
stir and add more.
Serve warm with cornbread (and
hot sauce if you want an extra kick!)
