Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 ounces hot Italian sausage, crumbled
- 2 medium carrots, diced fine
- 1 medium onion, diced fine
- 1 cup lentils
- 2 cups tomato sauce, homemade or jarred
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Shaved Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Method
- Heat the olive oil up over medium-high heat in a medium sauce pan. Add the sausage, and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and reserve.
- Add the carrots and onion to the pan, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the lentils, and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer on low with the lid on for 15 to 20 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the lentils are tender.
- Return the reserved sausage and add the tomato sauce, vinegar, and salt and pepper, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve over soft polenta, pasta, or alone, topped with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese.
