Hearty lentil stew with beef sausages and a splash of vinegar.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 300 g brown lentils
• 4 beef sausages
• 2 potatoes
• 2 carrots
• Leek
• Vinegar

Instructions

1. Rinse the lentils in a sieve under cold water; cut the carrots and leek into thin slices, the potatoes into 2 cm cubes.
2. Sweat the vegetables (without potatoes) in a little oil over medium heat for 4 min.
3. Add the lentils, pour in 1.5 l water and simmer at gentle heat for 20 min.
4. Add the potato cubes and cook for another 15 min until lentils and potatoes are soft.
5. Place the sausages in the stew and let them heat through for 5 min; season with salt and pepper.
6. Season with a strong splash of vinegar – it lifts the whole stew – and serve hot.
