● Lentils with Sausage
Salcicce e Lenticchie
1 1-pound bag lentils
8 sausage links
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 to 6 sage leaves
1 15-ounce. can tomato purée
salt and freshly ground pepper
Soak the lentils overnight, then boil them (cooking time varies depending on the type of lentils used—note the guidelines given on the package of lentils you buy). Prick the sausage with the prongs of a fork and scald for 5 minutes in boiling water. Heat the oil in a casserole on a medium flame and when it is hot, add the sage. Leave for a minute or so in order that the sage may flavor the oil. Then add the tomato to prepare a sauce. Finally, add the sausage and lentils and let them cook at a low flame for about 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve. ● Serves 4
