Easy Lentil and Sausage Stew

AN EASY SLOW COOKER STEW RECIPE, LOADED WITH LENTILS AND SAUSAGE

When it comes to cooking at home, we’d argue that lentils are one of the best ingredients out there. 

Because whether you’re whipping up a traditional lentil stew – or a bright lentil salad – you know the finished dish will be healthy, hearty and full of flavor.

But what happens when you add sausage to the mix? Um, we don’t have to tell you that lentil and sausage stew is pure magic. It’s one of those things you can taste just thinking about it, right?!

Celery and onion make the perfect aromatics – and are deftly complemented by the addition of thyme, tomato paste and a bay leaf.

Now, you can make this with your favorite beef or pork sausage – or make a vegan stew with a plant based sausage alternative (for example Beyond Meat Hot Italian Sausage).

But no matter what you decide on for your protein, you’re going to love how easy it is to make this lentil and sausage stew recipe in your rice cooker!
