Simple Lentils and Sausage Stew Recipe

Wash the lentils and strain it with a sieve.
Finely chop the onion and carrots, then slice the garlic cloves.
Remove the seeds from the tomato and grate it.
Cut the Italian sausage into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot and brown the sausages.
Remove the sausages from the pot and saute the finely chopped onions, carrots, and garlic.
Gradually add a cup of water to the pot, then scrape the bottom with your spatula. The scrapes from the leftover sausage will add a richer flavor.
Add the lentils and tomatoes, then pour the rest of the water and season with the cumin and paprika.
Let the water come to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer under a closed lid for 20 minutes while occasionally stirring.
Season with the fresh thyme and dried savory, then add the sausages to the pot. Press the sausages down with your spatula, then cook for another ten minutes or until the lentils are done.
Give the lentils a taste and add some salt if necessary.
Serve while warm.
