I didn’t have Italian sausage but used regular loose sausage instead and it was wonderful. Didn’t need much salt.

Easy to make and tasty! I haven’t had lentils very often, and remember making a big batch once and not liking them very much. They’re still not my favorite, but as one component of a dish instead of the main component of a dish, I can handle them. We used smoked turkey kielbasa instead of Italian sausage and it was a great flavor. I also used a whole 16 oz. bag of frozen spinach instead of 8 oz. It wasn’t even necessary to thaw and drain. I just threw it in at the end and waited until it was heated through. The stew was hearty since the broth was packed with lentils, carrots, onions, spinach, and sausage. My boyfriend will be enjoying the leftovers for lunch. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely delicious. I actually forgot to add salt and pepper because I was chasing my two year old son around the house while cooking. It was still so flavorful. I ended up adding orzo at the end as well (and subsequently, additional chicken stock and water). My son and I both loved it. I will definitely make it again. yum.

I made this tonight and it was delicious! For a twist, instead of using spinach we used kale. The flavor isn’t quite as strong and it holds a crispy texture. Thank you for sharing! I’ve never cooked with lentils before and this may be a new favorite
