Instructions
- Place lentils and water in a bowl to soak lentils. Soak for about 30 minutes. That way the lentils will cook through better, take in more flavor and it will be easier for you to digest.
- Slice onion, chop garlic, slice carrot, cut leek small. Keep aside.
- Heat up a pot with the butter and sauté first onion soft. Then add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes over a medium heat setting.
- Stir in the carrot and leek and continue to sauté over a medium heat setting.
- Reduce heat a bit. Place sausages in and stir in lentils.
- Pour in stock and water (sorry forgot to show the water in the video). Season with thyme and add the bay leaf.
- Mix it all and increase heat to a medium setting. Cover to cook.
- Simmer and cook for about 30-40 mins or until the lentils are soft and you are satisfied with the consistency. *see Notes
- Season with salt and black pepper. Stir and mix in the Dijon mustard.
- Take out and discard the bay leaf.
- Serve up hot and enjoy. Parsley can be used as a garnish.

Notes
- This recipe resembles one of my first dishes back in 2011, the brown lentil pot with sausage. I never had time to update this recipe, so please excuse its condition.
- The sausage can be substituted with bacon pieces, about 3.5 ounces/100 grams bacon.
- You can use beef or pork stock, or vegetable broth.
- Note that the french green lentils don't turn mushy, they hold their shape when you cook them, even if you cook them for a longer time.
- The Dijon mustard is optional but I recommend adding it. It adds flavor and mustard is a natural emulsifier, which means the consistency will turn out thicker.
