Author Notes
I really love my slow cooker. I love coming home to a house filled with the smells of dinner, and I love that cleanup is simple (all slow cooker dishes are essentially one-pot meals). This is one of my favorites! It's hearty and comforting, and makes great leftovers. —d_ribbens
Ingredients
-
1 pound
brown lentils, picked, rinsed, and drained
-
1 pound
your favorite smoked sausage, sliced (I like beef smoked sausage)
-
5 cups
your favorite stock (or water, but it won't be as tasty)
-
1
onion, diced
-
2
cloves of garlic, minced
-
1.5 cups
bias-sliced carrots
-
1 teaspoon
dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon
dried sage
-
salt & pepper to taste
-
2-4 cups
chopped kale (to be added at the end)
Directions
-
Mix all ingredients except kale in a medium-sized slow cooker.
-
Cook on low for the better part of a day (7-10 hours). I have never tried cooking on high, but I assume it would take 3.5-5 hours. If someone is willing to try it, let me know how it turns out!
-
Once stew is completely cooked, turn heat to high (if you were cooking on low) and add as much kale as you would like, stirring to mix. Cook 10-20 minutes more or until kale has begun to soften. Kale will greatly reduce in volume, so add as much or as little as you like.
Enjoy!
