Lentil Stew With Roasted Garlic Chicken Sausage

Rate this post

This is probably one of the last times I’ll ever post before I’m a married woman. If I stick on the demam isu I’ve been on, it really could be the last time I post before I’m married. I haven’t had time to even browse through Pinterest in all this wedding planning chaos, much less sit down to write a post. In fact, this stew you’re looking at is the only thing I have photographed since I got back from Germany in the end of May. The reason I know that is because my pastor made me this awesome new wooden board thingy to use for my photos which he gave me right when I got back, and this is the first time I used it.

Anyway, about these lentils. A lady at my church made them for our Lent soup supper months ago, and I couldn’t get them out of my head. Finally I asked her for the recipe and immediately made it as soon as she gave it to me. I made a few modifications, like adding this sausage I got at Sam’s Club. They come in some other flavors too I think which I’m sure are also awesome. But, if you feel like missing out, you can just be a vegetarian and not add the sausage and still have a hearty, proteinous meal. Whatever you do though, don’t leave out the swiss cheese. I’m serious.
